Synopsis "Christmas Every Day And Other Stories"
"Christmas Every Day and Other Stories" is a collection of short stories written by William Dean Howells, an American author and literary figure of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This collection was first published in 1892 and is known for its charming and often satirical exploration of various aspects of American society during the late 19th century. The title story, "Christmas Every Day," is perhaps the most famous and enduring in the collection. It tells the whimsical tale of a little girl who wishes for Christmas to occur every day, but she soon discovers the challenges and consequences of perpetual holiday celebrations. The story imparts a moral lesson about the importance of moderation and the value of special occasions. Other stories in the collection similarly explore the human condition, social norms, and the complexities of everyday life. Howells' writing is characterized by its realism and often humorous and critical examination of society. He delves into the quirks and foibles of his characters, shedding light on the societal norms and expectations of his time. Howells was associated with literary realism, and his stories often reflect the changing landscape of American culture during the late 19th century. While some stories in this collection are lighthearted and humorous, others tackle more serious themes, such as the challenges of love, the clash of social classes, and the impact of technology on daily life. Overall, "Christmas Every Day and Other Stories" is a collection that provides a window into the world of late 19th-century America, offering readers a mix of entertainment and social commentary. It remains a classic work in American literature, appreciated for Howells' keen observations and storytelling skills.
