William Dean Howells's «The Sleeping-Car: A Farce» is a sharp, satirical exploration of American society and its evolving transportation culture at the turn of the 20th century. Through the comedic misadventures of its characters onboard a sleeping car, Howells adeptly critiques social norms, class disparities, and the burgeoning experience of modern travel. His use of witty dialogue and farcical situations not only elicits humor but also invites readers to scrutinize the inconsistencies of human behavior against the backdrop of an increasingly industrialized world. Howells, often referred to as the «Dean of American Letters,» was a prominent figure in realism and a fierce advocate for literary authenticity. His extensive travels and keen observations of societal changes likely served as catalysts for this work. Having navigated the intricacies of American life as both a journalist and novelist, Howells's insights into social nuances are deeply embedded in this narrative, showcasing his perceptive understanding of human nature amidst societal transformations. «The Sleeping-Car: A Farce» is a must-read for those who appreciate the interplay of comedy and critique within literature. It offers not only entertainment but also a reflective lens on the social fabric of its time, making it relevant for contemporary readers who seek to understand the enduring complexities of travel and human interactions.
