This fully annotated selection from his eloquent correspondence allows the writer to reveal himself & the fascinating world in which he lived. James numbered among his correspondents the writers William Dean Howells, Henry Adams, Robert Louis Stevenson, H.G. Wells & Edith Wharton, as well as presidents & prime ministers, painters & great ladies, actresses & bishops. These letters provide a rich & fascinating source for James' views on his own works, the literary craft, sex, politics & friendship, & collectively constitute, in Philip Horne's own words, James' "real & best biography". Horne's system of introductory head-notes & accompanying footnotes helps readers to feel & understand how fully James himself was connected with his world, providing a "a narrative of passionate creation". More than half the letters in "Henry James: A Life in Letters" have never before been published, whilst many previous errors of transcription have been corrected. This landmark in James scholarship offers unique insights into this complex & compelling artist & individual. * HIGH PRAISE: "Philip Horne has set before us a feast. The letters themselves are ravishing enough, but there is much, much more . . . We owe a considerable debt of gratitude to Philip Horne for this immense achievement. I cannot remember when I read a work of scholarship w/ more pleasure . . . truly awesome & imaginative." -Tony Tanner, Professor of English, King's College, Cambridge * PHILIP HORNE, a preeminent authority on Henry James, was educated at Cambridge University. In addition to this superbly edited & presented collection of James' letters, Horne has published "Henry James & Revision: The New York Edition" (1990), & has edited James' "A London Life", "The Reverberator", & the Penguin edition of "The Tragic Muse". * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations.…
