Descripción del artículo del vendedor

The Kentons is a novel by William Dean Howells, first published in 1902. The story follows the lives of a middle-class family, the Kentons, living in a small Ohio town in the late 19th century. The patriarch of the family, James Kenton, is a successful businessman who is deeply committed to his family and community. His wife, Ellen, is a devoted mother and homemaker, while their children, Alice and Tom, are coming of age and facing the challenges of growing up in a rapidly changing world. The novel explores themes of family, community, and social change, as the Kentons navigate the ups and downs of daily life. Howells' writing is known for its realism and attention to detail, and The Kentons is no exception. The novel offers a vivid portrait of small-town life in America during the late 19th century, and provides a window into the social and cultural issues of the time. Overall, The Kentons is a thoughtful and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into a bygone era, while also addressing timeless themes and concerns that continue to resonate with readers today.1902. Howells was an American realist author. He wrote for various magazines including Atlantic Monthly and Harpers Magazine. His career blossomed after the publication of his first realist novel, A Modern Instance. The Kentons begins: The Kentons were not rich, but they were certainly richer than the average in the pleasant country town of the Middle West where they had spent nearly their whole married life. As their circumstances had grown easier, they had mellowed more and more in the keeping of their comfortable home, until they hated to leave it even for the short outings, which their children made them take, to Niagara or the Upper Lakes in the hot weather.
