SUPERB: BRILLIANT: Virtually NEW LOA First Edition hardcover (Orig. 1984) First Printing, AS-NEW LOA jacket w/ sharp NEW edges & corners & showing orig. $27.50 pub. price at bottom-right inside-front flyleaf, IMMACULATE smooth-cut text-block exterior, NEW silk-finish sand-tan Brillianta linen-over-boards cover w/ sharp NEW edges & corners, IMPECCABLE white-on-tan front & back LOA-patterned card-stock end-papers, NEW Smyth-sewn binding w/ tight signatures & tan-white-checked cloth bands at spine-caps, PRISTINE interior printed in 10-point Linotron Galliard on SUPERB Olin Nyalite paper * 5.0" x 8.12" x 1.96", 0.92 kg, 1484 pp. Slipcase: 5.34" x 8.50" x 2.12", 1.00 kg * CONTENTS: Essays on Literature (1), American Writers (183), English Writers (703); Chronology (1415), Note on the Texts (1430), Notes (1445), Index (1454). * ABOUT THE BOOK: Henry James, renowned as one of the world's great novelists, was also one of the most illuminating, audacious & masterly critics of modern times. This LOA volume & its companion are a fitting testimony to his unprecedented achievement. They offer the only comprehensive collection of his critical writings ever assembled, more than one-third of which have never appeared in book form. This 1st volume focuses especially on his responses to American & English writers; the 2nd volume contains his essays on European literature & the Prefaces to the New York Edition of his fiction. From 1864 until virtually the end of his life, James displayed an astonishing range & catholicity of critical interests, touching on nearly every facet of literature in America, England & Europe. Here are his most important theoretical essays, including his witty & daring declarations of the novelist's freedom in "The Art of Fiction", "The Future of the Novel", & "The Science of Criticism"—a gently ironic title from a writer who regarded criticism as a form of art. Appreciations of Ralph Waldo Emerson ("I knew he was great, greater than any of our friends"), pungent comments (which he later regretted) on Walt Whitman's "Drum-Taps", & assessments of Louisa May Alcott, Edgar Allan Poe, his friend & admirer William Dean Howells, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Francis Parkman, & scores of other American writers are joined, in revealing proximity, to commentaries on nearly every important English writer of fiction (& some poets, such as the Brownings) during the late 19th & early 20th centuries. These reviews of English writers include James' stunning essay on Charles Dickens' "Our Mutual Friend", his provocative discussions of George Eliot, & his tough but appreciative estimates of Anthony Trollope, Matthew Arnold, Benjamin Disraeli, Elizabeth Gaskell, Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy, William Morris, Rupert Brooke, Ouida, Algernon Charles Swinburne, & Robert Louis Stevenson. Also included here is his great essay on Shakespeare's "The Tempest". All of these pieces are gathered under the author considered, so that James' supple changes in attitude can be followed across the years. Of particular interest, both critically and biographically, are James' commentaries on Nathaniel Hawthorne, including his still-controversial book-length study of 1879. His estimates of his predecessor's work remain highly debatable, but are perhaps more interesting as evidence of his own feelings about being an American writer of a later &, as he assumed, more complex time. Finally, this volume includes 2 invaluable collections: his "American Letters" & "London Notes," wherein, w/ unsurpassed tact & grandeur of mind, he introduces readers of his native & of his adopted country to each other. * The LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. This acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic).* SHIPPING: FREE USPS MEDIA MAIL.…

This is one of two LOA volumes of the most extensive collection of his critical writings ever assembled, w/ many pieces never before available in book form. It includes reviews of a great number of European writers, especially French writers, along w/ more general essays & the Prefaces Henry James wrote for the New York Edition of his works, published between 1907 & 1909. The collection attests to James' nearly unparalleled creative energy & to the reach of his theoretical & interpretive curiosity. His unique authority as a commentator draws upon the European-American contrast that is a central circumstance of his own fiction. A member of intellectual circles on both continents, he became the foremost interpreter to American readers of the literary & cultural life of Europe. More than 100 reviews and essays are gathered by author, so that readers can trace the development of James' complex, meditative, & highly volatile attitudes toward a wide spectrum of literature. James reviews the formidable Honoré de Balzac (w/ his "huge, all compassing, all desiring, all devouring love of reality"), Gustave Flaubert ("a pearl-diver, breathless in the thick element while he groped for the priceless word"), & Ivan Turgenev, the Russian visitor in Paris, w/ whom James felt great personal affinity, even though Tugenev "lacked the immense charm of absorbed inventiveness." James delivers his critical judgments w/ great elegance & point, especially when he discusses the performance of other critics like Hippolyte Taine & Augustin Sainte-Beuve, &, of course, he can be wonderfully acerbic. An early moralistic essay on Baudelaire finds Poe "vastly the greater charlatan of the two, and the greater genius." James brings his critical zest, exhilaration, & independence of judgment to bear on writers as diverse as Alphonse Daudet, George Sand, Victor Hugo, Guy de Maupassant, Théophile Gautier, J.W. von Goethe, & Gabriele D'Annunzio. Readers will find, in the complete collection of the Prefaces, one of literature's most revealing artistic autobiographies, a wholly absorbing account of how writing gets written, & a vision of the possibilities for fiction which critics & novelists of later times will find immensely instructive & liberating. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: Leon Edel (1907-1997) was emeritus professor of English at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. His 5-volume biography of Henry James received both a Pulitzer Prize & a National Book Award. Mark Wilson, associate editor, was professor of English at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. * The LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic). * SHIPPING: FREE Domestic USPS MEDIA MAIL.…

Arranged chronologically & containing many pieces restored to the form in which Twain intended them to appear, the volumes show w/ unprecedented clarity the literary evolution of Mark Twain over six decades of his career. The nearly 200 separate items in this volume cover the years from 1852 to 1890. As a riverboat pilot, Confederate irregular, silver miner, frontier journalist & publisher, Twain witnessed the tragicomic beginning of the Civil War in Missouri, the frenzied opening of the West, & the feverish corruption, avarice & ambition of the Reconstruction era. He wrote about political bosses, jumping frogs, robber barons, cats, women's suffrage, temperance, petrified men, the bicycle, the Franco-Prussian War, the telephone, the income tax, the insanity defense, injudicious swearing, & the advisability of political candidates preemptively telling the worst about themselves before others get around to it. Among the stories included here are "Jim Smiley & His Jumping Frog," which won him instant fame when published in 1865, "Cannibalism in the Cars," "The Invalid's Story," & the charming "A Cat's Tale," written for his daughters' private amusement. This volume also presents several of his famous & successful speeches & toasts, such as "Woman? God Bless Her," "The Babies," & "Advice to Youth." Such writings brought Twain immense success on the public lecture & banquet circuit, as did his controversial "Whittier Birthday Speech," which portrayed Boston's most revered men of letters as a band of desperadoes. * The LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts.
