Henry James
This collection of Henry James's letters-more than half of which have never been published-offers a vivid picture of his life of passionate creation and the complex world in which he lived. Through his exchanges with writers such as William Dean Howells, Henry Adams, Robert Louis Stevenson, H. G. Wells, and Edith Wharton, as well as presidents, prime ministers, bishops, painters, and great ladies and actresses, we gain a fascinating glimpse of James's views on sex, politics, and friendship as well as his novels and the art of writing. These letters constitute a landmark of James scholarship and the real and best biography of this most complex and compelling artist.
Henry James, a Life
"Henry James: A Life" is a revised and updated condensation of the classic biography. "Henry James: A Life" gains narrative power in its directedness, in its concise handling of James's complex development as a writer, in a sharpened sense of how his youthful enthusiasms and setbacks were transformed and yoked to his art. And this edition, which represents the first complete one-volume biography of James ever published, includes significant new material about his life. Revised and skillfully abridged in these pages, Edel's masterpiece will find its way to a whole new generation of readers. -- From publisher's description.
Henry James, Volume One
Henry James, OM ( 1843 - 1916) was an Anglo-American writer who spent the bulk of his career in Britain. He is regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. He was the son of Henry James, Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James. James is one of the major figures of trans-Atlantic literature. His works frequently juxtapose characters from the Old World (Europe), embodying a feudal civilization that is beautiful, often corrupt, and alluring, and from the New World (United States), where people are often brash, open, and assertive and embody the virtues-freedom and a more highly evolved moral character-of the new American society. James explores this clash of personalities and cultures, in stories of personal relationships in which power is exercised well or badly.

The Complete Tales of Henry James (Volume 2 of 12)
Henry James (1843-1916) was an America-born English writer whose novels, short stories and letters established the foundation of the modernist movement in twentieth century fiction and poetry. His career, one of the most significant and influential in English literature, spanned over five decades and resulted in a body of work that has had a profound impact on generations of writers. Born in New York, but educated in France, Germany, England and Switzerland, James often explored the cultural discord between the Old World (Europe) and the New World (United States) in his writings. Included in this second volume of "The Complete Tales of Henry James" are several works published early in the author's career, between 1868 and 1872: "Osborne's Revenge," "A Light Man," "Gabrielle de Bergerac," "Travelling Companions," "A Passionate Pilgrim," "At Isella," "Master Eustace," and "Guest's Confession."
