Add to basketEight Uncollected Tales of Henry James; edited with an introduction by Edna Kenton; Rutgers University Press, New Brunswick, N. J., 1950. From the blurb Until LeRoy Phillips listed their titles in his Bibliography of the Writings of Henry James in 1906, these eight and the remaining seven of the uncollected stories lay unknown in old files of The Atlantic, The Galaxy, and Scribner s Monthly. The tales are called uncollected because, of the twenty-eight stories James wrote between 1965 and 1876, these are the ones he did not reprint in book form. They are now complete in two volumes: seven in Albert Mordell s Travelling Companions (1919) and eight in this book edited by Edna Kenton, one of our foremost authorities on Henry James. Although we cannot be sure of James s reasons, Miss Kenton suggests that his failure to collect these tales reflects his unwillingness to reprint what he might have felt to be immature treatment of themes he treated elsewhere much later. Written in the early period of James s long career, these stories are interesting for many reasons, not the least of which is their story value. In the wide range of subject matter from the romantic and picturesque - Gabrielle de Bergerac: a love story set in eighteenth-century France, to The Ghostly Rental, the spine-tingling tale of old Captain Diamond who rented his house to his daughter s ghost, and My Friend Bingham, a touching account of a man who fell in love with the mother of the child he accidentally killed these are tales to please every taste. This book, 314 pages, is in very-good condition in a good dust jacket, that is now in a protective mylar wrap. The dust jacket is separated at the edge of the back part of the dust jacket but with the mylar wrap this is not evident. A scholarly collection of rare tales from a master.
