Reviews

Praise for earlier volumes in The Complete Letters of Henry James series Michael Anesko's superb introduction to both volumes [The Complete Letters of Henry James, 1878-1880, volumes 1 and 2] places James's letters in these crucial years in the context of James's literary works and the broader social history in which they were produced. . . . These new volumes of The Complete Letters of Henry James deserve our admiration for their scholarly rigor and the teamwork required not only of the volume editors and Michael Anesko but also of the associate editors, editorial assistants, and advisory group of this monumental project. . . . These handsome volumes . . . [are] extraordinary resources. --John Carlos Rowe, Resource for American Literary Study Reading [these] edited letters is a delight. The transcriptions allow one to read fluidly rather than haltingly, preserving the rhythm and tone of the original communications together with their content. The explanatory notes do a superb job of contextualizing the letters and identifying references and allusions within them. I could not help but admire the astonishing discernment and scholarship manifested in this volume. --Sarah Wadsworth, professor of English at Marquette University Rippling through these letters are the first imaginative stirrings of one of the greatest fiction and travel writers in the language. [James] was also one of the most entertaining--and prolific--correspondents. . . . These are richly enthralling letters. --Peter Kemp, Sunday Times (London)
