About

The William Dean Howells Society is a nonprofit scholarly organization dedicated to the study of the nineteenth-century editor, author, and critic W. D. Howells.

Founded by Jesse Crisler and a group of interested scholars at the ALA in 1997, it sponsors two panels at the annual American Literature Association convention, which is held in May on Memorial Day weekend every year.
