Considered Howell's most ambitious novel, A Hazard of New Fortunes portrays nineteenth-century New York as a world of conflicting ideas and values. In the events surrounding the founding of a new magazine, Howell depicts a new urban and industrial America in which people are increasingly driven by forces beyond their control.
