The phrase "stops of various Quills" first appears in John Milton's poem "Lycidas", which was written in 1637. Howells' poems have been said to vary widely in craftsmanship.〔Gross Cooke, p. 125.〕 The sonnet ''The Bewildered Guest'', featured in ''Stops of Various Quills'' is considered to be one of his most quoted works.〔 Henry Pitz, illustrator and Howard Pyle biographer, describes this collaborative work as "a labor of love"—where the "great kinship" that existed between author and illustrator is evident in "both text and picture."〔Pitz, p. 106.〕 Howells and Pyle both lost children early in the year 1889; Howells, a daughter named Winifred and Pyle, a son named Sellers. Pitz relates how they "both suffered from interludes of melancholia" as a result—a term found etched in illustrations on the pages of "November" and "Question."〔Pitz, p. 198.〕 Drawing comparison to work of the Boecklin school, Pyle's illustrations have been described as lavish,〔Gross Cooke, p. 123.〕 and adorn each page. An "édition de luxe" was published (with a publication date of 1896), "limited to fifty copies, each signed by Mr. Howells and Mr. Pyle, with illustrations printed in sepia, and the full-page illustrations on Japan proofs in black." This edition sold for $15.〔''The Literary News'', p. 359.〕
