About This Item
Meridian, New York, 1994.. Good/Unknown. 12 mo, softcover, small stain at bottom edge (coffee? ) else VG. 441 pp. Set against a vividly depicted background of fin de siecle New York, this novel centers upon the conflict between a self-made millionaire and a fervent social revolutionary-a conflict in which a man of goodwill futilely attempts to act as mediator, only to be forced himself into a crisis of conscience.
Synopsis
A Hazard of New Fortunes is a novel by William Dean Howells. First published in 1890, the book was well-received for its awareness of social injustice—indeed, the book, considered by many to be his best work, was one of three Howells had written with Socialist and Utopian ideals in mind; The Quality of Mercy in 1892, and An Imperative Duty in 1893.
