By William Dean Howells

Book Overview

Heroines of Fiction is a two-volume collection of literary essays written by W.D. Howells. The book explores the portrayal of female characters in classic works of fiction, including those written by Jane Austen, George Eliot, and Henry James, among others. Howells examines the ways in which these heroines are depicted and the impact they have on the stories in which they appear.
