Sommario/riassunto

Though it did not achieve the popular success of novels like The Rise of Silas Lapham, critics regard William Dean Howells' The Landlord at Lion's Head as a masterpiece of literary naturalism. It follows amoral antihero Jeff Durgin as he transforms his humble family farm into an upscale resort property.
