A Belated Guest (from Literary Friends and Acquaintance)
A Belated Guest (from Literary Friends and Acquaintance)
A Belated Guest, written by William Dean Howells in the late 19th century, is a literary reminiscence that recounts the author's experiences hosting the renowned American writer Bret Harte. Through warm narrative and keen observations, Howells captures the essence of their interactions, highlighting Harte's charming yet chaotic nature and offering insights into the literary landscape of the time. This work serves as both a tribute to Harte and a commentary on the complexities of literary fame and friendship, reflecting Howells' unique perspective on notable literary figures of his era.

“It seems to me a proof of the small advance our race has made in true wisdom, that we find it so hard to give up doing anything we have meant to do.””
