Críticas:
"Also, we realize, James possessed a point of view tailor-made for the vocation of literary criticism. The critic's life, he wrote in one essay, 'is heroic, for it is immensely vicarious. He has to understand for others.'"-- The New York Times
Reseña del editor:
Gathers James essays about fiction, literary criticism, and the works of Alcott, Emerson, Hawthorne, Howells, Stowe, Arnold, Browning, Byron, Trollope, and Stevenson

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.
