Familiar Spanish Travels review
I have been unable to find "The Bookman" magazine here in Spain, so I
would be very grateful if someone who has access to it could scan to
me or send me any other way the review on Familiar Spanish Travels, which
appeared in
Bookman 38:387 Dec. 1913. because I need it urgently.Thank you very much
in advance.
Best wishes
Antonio Vicente. vicenteazofra@telefonica.net
PS:I would also like to thank Mr Gary Culbert for all the help he has
so kindly provided me.

Howells's "mania for self-sacrifice" and
Jane Addams
Two years before founding Hull-House in Chicago, Jane Addams
wrote to Ellen Gates Starr about William Dean Howells's "tirade on the
mania for self sacrifice."
I am interested to know what novel, short story, or essay Addams might
have had in mind in 1887. The information will be included in an
annotation in volume 2 of The Selected Papers of Jane Addams (eds. Mary
Lynn McCree Byran, Barbara Bair, and Maree de Angury), to be published
bythe University of Illinois Press.

"Palpitating Divans"
I found the following in the New Criterion (V. 10, #10, 1992,
online at: http://www.newcriterion.com/archive/10/jun92/howells.htm),
in "William Dean Howells & the practice of criticism," by James
W. Tuttleton:
"Howells thus drew a line beyond which his Realism would not go. There could
not be, he said, any "palpitating divans" in his novels."
I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me the source of Howell's term "palpitating
divans."
Thanks!
