Product Description:
Henry James wrote at least 10,000 letters, a vast number of which have yet to be published. For this edition, Philip Horne draws on a wide range of archival holdings to produce an up-to-date selection, a third of which is previously unpublished.
Review:
A magnificent... book which will be irresistible to any Jamesian... [It] comes to us with the freshness of a new biography of the man. [I] spent a few enchanted weeks reading and rereading Horne's addictive volume. I haven't enjoyed a book so much in years. -- A. N. Wilson, Independent on Sunday
Philip Horne's cherishing, meticulous, ministering annotations and biographical work... make this a very good book indeed -- Adam Petite, Evening Standard
The whole selection is most helpfully (and stylishly) edited by Philip Horne -- Ian Hamilton, Sunday Telegraph
