This is a duplicate review of mine that was posted on an out of print copy of this book. I wanted to copy/paste it on here, as it is the only version of this book on amazon that is in stock.

I was introduced to this impressive novel by someone who has a taste for great authors, regardless if they are well known or not. William Dean Howells is not well known. He can be said to be the father of realism in the American literary uprising in the late 19th century, having influenced and discovered such American greats as Henry James and Mark Twain. He can be said to be their father, in a comical sort of way. From where I stand, among all Howell's books, A Modern Instance is his masterpiece.

This book is the very archetype of a realism novel that amasses tragedy, jealously, (of course love) and death. It can be a hard read towards the end for it is exceptional in its descriptions: of settings and characters so much so that you will live vicariously through ever character in this novel. If I am to be let free in this review, it could easily stretch to 2,000 words for there is much to say about so many nuances but I will save you the time.

A brief summary is that it follows a very young couple whom get married without the consent from the wife's parents, starting on a destructive path from the beginning. She is overzealous and fictionalized in her love for Bartley (the husband), that, for Bartley, anything he could share or feel emotionally would sorely be too little. As they go further and further into their marriage, which doesn't span but a couple years, Bartley destructs and withers, while Marcia (the wife) does the same.

This book is overflowing with irony, and the characters will leave you analyzing them for months after putting the novel down. This indeed ranks as one of the top, if not THE top, great realism novels coming out of American literature.

Now, if you have not heard of the book, or the author, stop whatever you are doing and search out the book. If not, you will be missing out on the likes of one of the most powerful authors to come out of the 19th century.
