Dust jacket does have minor sticker residue on lower right corner of back; Otherwise, is in good condition. It was more than forty years ago that Leon Edel began to publish what at the time - and for decades later - was accepted as the definitive portrait of Henry James. In the five-volume work, however, James emerged as a somewhat bloodless man of little passion and no courage. But now Sheldon Novick, with his Henry James: The Young Master, has succeeded in bringing James fully to life by showing us a man with boldness of spirit and a profound capacity for affection. We share James's childhood in New York in the mid-nineteenth century, suffer with him through illnesses, sexual encounters, early loves; journey with him to London, Paris, and Rome as he tries to find both professional success and personal fulfillment. And as the world opens to him as an internationally famous writer, we share the experience of writing a series of celebrated novels, culminating with Washington Square (on which the play The Heiress is based) and the masterpiece The Portrait of a Lady.

Novick's "Henry James: The Young Master" to "a movie of James' life, as it unfolds, moment to moment, lending the book a powerful immediacy." In the early 1950s Leon Edel began to publish what at the time--and for many decades to follow--was accepted as the definitive portrait of Henry James. In the 5-vol. work, however, James emerged as a somewhat bloodless man of little passion & no courage. But in 1996, w/ the publication of "Henry James,The Young Master", Sheldon Novick succeeded in bringing James fully to life by revealing to us a man w/ boldness of spirit & a profound capacity for affection. We share James' childhood in New York in the mid-19th century, suffer w/ him through illnesses, sexual encounters, & early loves; journey w/ him to London, Paris, & Rome as he tries to find both professional success & personal fulfillment. And as the world opens to him, as an internationally famous writer, we share the experience of writing a series of celebrated novels, culminating w/ "Washington Square" (on which the play "The Heiress" is based) & the masterpiece "The Portrait of a Lady." This landmark life followed the author's exceptional biography of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, which the NYT called "masterly, perfected to the point of art." * HIGHEST PRAISE: "I read this book w/ fascination. It has some of the ingredients of a 19th-century novel & is irresistibly readable. Beneath the leisurely & informal style there is rigorous scholarship that inspires confidence. Shedon Novick is not a debunker but a revisionist who skillfully interweaves the writing w/ the life. He is not afraid to cross swords w/ the legendary Leon Edel in his attempt to demythologize James & introduce him to a new generation of readers." -Michael Holroyd ". . . True to the mode of Henry James, Novick is always discreet yet irrefutable in his scholarship & literary skill. Perhaps in another generation or two, Novick may be supplemented by others, but he will not be surpassed or replaced." -Harold Bloom * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: SHELDON M. NOVICK is the author of "Henry James: The Mature Master", "Henry James: The Young Master" & "Honorable Justice: The Life of Oliver Wendell Holmes". Professor Novick is the editor of "The Collected Works of Justice Holmes". He is Adjunct Professor of Law & History at Vermont Law School, & lives in Norwich, Vermont. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or via USPS PRIORITY MAIL for our below-cost charge.
