This collection of Henry James's letters--more than half of which have never been published--offers a vivid picture of his life of passionate creation and the complex world in which he lived. Through his exchanges with writers such as William Dean Howells, Henry Adams, Robert Louis Stevenson, H. G.

These letters constitute a landmark of James scholarship and the real and best biography of this most complex and compelling artist. First American Edition. Second? Printing.
