Bertram Cope’s Year

Description

Henry’s novel was possibly the ever dauntless and favorable LGBT literature of the first 20 years of the 20th century in the United States. In this tale, Bertram Cope is a youthful college professor, around the age of 24, but not a day more than 25, who is chased by men and women, both young and old. In creating this novel, Henry had to wisely art his subject matters in order to affront the susceptibilities of issuers. As an effect, a reader of today, is left rather, but not totally, puzzled of the exact emotions that characters have for each other by the last chapter of the story. However, no printing press would tap it, which finally needed that Henry took the self-printing course. Henry Blake Fuller was an American author and short fiction writer from Chicago, Illinois. Henry’s first books were travel love stories taking place in Italy that showcased figurative heroes. Both The Chevalier of Pensieri–Vani and The Châtelaine of La Trinité had a few subject similarity to the masterpieces of Henry James, whose early attention was in the contrary among American and European lifestyles. Henry’s first two novels charmed to the refined styles of civilized New Englanders like Charles Eliot Norton and James Russell Lowell, who brought Henry’s works of art as a hopeful emblem of a middle class literary tradition in what was then still widely the border city of Chicago. Henry then changed to literary pragmatism, drafting The Cliff-Dwellers, what is probably the first work situated between the skyscrapers and frantic trade tradition of Chicago of today. The story surprised and annoyed Chicago readers, who searched for its unbecoming picture of the city shuddering. The story won the acclaim of the inspirational critic and writer William Dean Howells, whose constructive criticism did much to uphold Henry’s standing as a worthy regional humanist.
