David's Bookshelf

I have just posted a new short book note, this on William Dean Howells' The Rise of Silas Lapham, in the bookshelf section of NewMajority. There are now almost 130 of these mini-essays. These essays should be especially valuable I think to the desperate high school or college student struggling to finish an unwanted English or political science assignment. But I hope even the unassigned will find them interesting - please come take a look.
