The Rise of Silas Lapham

Publisher's full blue cloth, black lettering on spine, medallion blind-stamped on front cover. "Invariably cited in any list of American "business" novels. its real story involves the unsuccessful efforts of a crude but essentially honest self-made man to become accepted by Boston Brahmins. Lapham is a credible businessman who has made a fortune in mineral paint discovered on a family farm. quite untypical of contemporary entrepreneurs. he makes large loans to a crooked former partner which result in his own ruin. All, however, ends happily. As Frank Norriscontemptuously remarked, Howells's realism in American social studies amounted to crises involving cups of tea." --Auchincloss/Business.
