Halftone Photographs (illustratore). "Henry James's New York Edition : The Construction of Authorship", edited by David McWhirter, was published in 1995 by Stanford University Press. The book has a Foreword by John Carlos Rowe. This book is an anthology of useful essays, all joining forces to present a clearly defined representation of the work that went into the making of "The New York Edition of the Novels and Tales of Henry James" (1907 - 1909). From the book's write-up: "Toward the end of Henry James's career, Charles Scribner's Sons offered him the opportunity to publish his collected works in a single edition under the overall titl as just given above. Rather than simply reprint his fictional oeuvre, James entered into a massive work of self-monumentalization: revising the texts extensively; writing prefaces that have become classic texts on prose aesthetics and the novelist's art; and omitting many works, among them some major novels. The thirty illustrations include all twenty-four frontispiece photographs made, under James's supervision, for the edition."
