Rebecca Harding Davis is best known as a pioneering realist and the author of “Life in the Iron-Mills” (1861), an incredibly popular story about the plight of industrial workers, their lack of access to art, and their temptations to crime.
Mark Twain’s work demonstrates his commitment to realism as well as his desire to portray life in his native Missouri. Twain’s work also reminds us that the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were the golden age of children’s literature, when children’s books moved away from didactic moralizing and towards entertaining their child readers. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) provides a prime example of a new sort of child protagonist, the “bad boy,” whose badness and trickery (like cleverly conning his friends into whitewashing his aunt Polly’s fence) are signs of high spirits and wit, not of inner depravity. But it is the sequel to Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), which proved Twain’s most influential contribution to American literature. The story of Tom’s impoverished and abused friend Huck fleeing down the river with the unexpected companion of a slave man, Jim, broke ground. The novel was the first written entirely in vernacular language: it is told in Huck’s Missourian, childish dialect. Scholars continue to debate the novel’s racial politics, particularly its portrayal of Jim, whom Huck decides he would rather go to Hell than betray. Huck’s belief that doing right by Jim will damn him to Hell is just one example of Twain’s pointed critique of racial politics in nineteenth-century America⁷
Henry James was a prolific late nineteenth-century realist novelist. His novels are often psychologically probing narratives about upper class characters and the experiences of Americans in Europe. He gained fame with the publication of Daisy Miller (1878), the story of a naïve American girl who resists social norms. His other famous works include The Portrait of a Lady (1881), a novel about Isabel Archer, a young woman who attempts to escape an entrapping marriage without losing her principles or hurting others, and The Turn of the Screw (1898), the story of an English governess working to protect the children she cares for from the influence of ghosts who may or may not be real.
