It is a volume that deserves to be called DEFINITIVE. Assembled and edited by Leon Edel, James's much-acclaimed prizewinning biographer, and Lyall H. Powers, critic and editor of James' letters to Edith Wharton, this book includes the nine scribbler-notebooks that were published by Oxford in 1947; these have been considerably UPDATED and ANNOTATED to correct the identification of stories developed by James from his various notes and to reveal many noted Victorians James concealed through use of their initials. Certain omitted portions of the notebooks have also been restored. This volume is especially noteworthy for the body of new material that it contains. It includes a series of James' pocket diaries in which, amid appointments & luncheon dates, he jotted down observations & ideas for his fiction & commented on his personal relations. Also here are some fugitive dictated notes, in which James offered an autobiographical meditation on the "Turning Point" in his life & the "working out" of a story based on a passion murder by an American acquaintance in the south of France. James' long out-of-print statements for his unfinished novels "The Ivory Tower" & "The Sense of the Past", scenarios for unfinished plays, the writer's deathbed dictation--all these are here as well. An appendix includes a substantial fragment of a story James never completed, & the book even provides insight into James' "cash accounts." Everywhere throughout the collection, in writings never intended for the public eye, the artist is seen at work. his private prayers to his Muse & exhortations to himself make exhilarating reading. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: Leon Edel is the author of "Life of Henry James" which received numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, & the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Arts & Letters. Lyall H. Powers is Professor of English Language & Literature at the University of Michigan & author & editor of several critical studies of Henry James. * 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 international destinations at our posted rates.
