Henry James
Henry James
He was a supreme artist in the intimacies and connections that bind people together or tear them apart, says Leon Edel in his introduction to this collection of Henry James's best letters. Edel has chosen, from the four-volume epistolarium already published, those letters which especially illuminate James's writing, his life, his thoughts and fancies, his literary theories, and his most meaningful friendships. In addition, there are two dozen let…
The Complete Notebooks of Henry James
The Complete Notebooks of Henry James opens a clear window into the private workshop of America's master novelist. Leon Edel, James' highly-acclaimed award-winning biographer, and Lyall H. Powers, critic and editor of James' letters to Edith Wharton, have assembled and edited this definitive volume. It contains the nine scribbler-notebooks originally published by Oxford in 1947, with considerable updating and annotations that both correct the ide…

A Bibliography of Henry James
Henry James
This is the one-volume edition of a famous biography of Henry James, which includes new material. Born in America, Henry James was educated both there and in Europe before settling in London, where he was to spend most of his life, in 1876. His novels represent the culmination of the 19th-century realist tradition of Austen, George Eliot, Flauberty and Balzac, and a decisive step towards the experimental modernism of Woolf and T.S. Eliot. His wor…

Transference
Freud's discussion of the pitfalls of "transference"-that is, the biographer's personal involvement in the life of the subject-has received too little attention from biographers who continue to romanticize and fictionalize the lives they write in response to unconscious inner fantasies. The problem is illustrated by Maurois' discussion of his emotions while writing his romantic lives of Shelley and Disraeli. Other illustrations are given. Transfe…

Biography
A Manifesto" is a demand for recognition of the art of Biography as one of the major forms of literary creation. The manifesto insists on recognition of the creative energy and skill as well as literary art involved in writing a biography worthy of the name. It urges poets and novelists to attempt the form and invites criticism, hitherto negligent, to grasp the difference between compendia biographies and the finished "life." The manifesto furthe…

The Legend of the Master
Even among the ranks of novelists, the personality of Henry James seems peculiarly enigmatic and complex. In this vivid compilation, first published in l947, and containing material not available elsewhere, contemporaries record their first-hand impressions of a man and artist who brought fiction to a new peak of seriousness and sensitivity. But the James their collective impressions portray is far from a one-dimensional patriarch -- the master o…

The Complete Plays of Henry James
Originally published in 1949, The Complete Plays of Henry James revealed how the novelist, after repeated attempts to succeed on stage, used his dramatic experience to create his major novels written after 1900. This masterful new edition by prize-winning biographer Leon Edel now charts James's posthumous success in the modern media. Through examination of the plays themselves, Edel brings to light the irony of James's dramatic novels--novels tha…
