Overview
"A Hazard of New Fortunes — Volume 1" by William Dean Howells is a vivid depiction of American life in the late 19th century. The novel is set in New York City, a burgeoning metropolis symbolizing the changing face of America. It focuses on the March family, particularly on Basil March, who relocates from Boston to New York following a job opportunity. This move sets the stage for a deeper exploration of urban life and the social fabric of the time. Howells skillfully portrays the challenges the family faces as they adjust to the bustling, diverse, and often overwhelming atmosphere of the city. The novel examines themes such as class disparity, the struggle for economic survival, and the complexities of social interactions in a modern urban setting. Through the experiences of the March family and their encounters with a wide range of characters from different social backgrounds, Howells paints a detailed picture of the opportunities, hardships, and moral dilemmas presented by the American dream. His realistic portrayal of life in New York during this era makes the book not just a story of personal endeavor but a significant commentary on the societal changes and cultural tensions of the time.
