The Short Stories of Henry James

Descripción

Edited by Clifton Fadiman. Faintly and evenly discolored covers, that is, by time and light. Top page edges grayed. Former owner was James Boyer May, who died in 1981. May was a poet, essayist and publisher. He had small literary magazine, Trace, from 1952 through 1970 in Los Angeles. The friendship between May and poet Kenneth Patchen began with a strong review in Trace of Patchen's work in the fifties and sixties. This book has a bookplate inside the front cover composed of a stork-like bird's head on a human stick figure, a 4-line literary observation, and May's artfully constructed written signature. I can't tell if this is a one-off item or one of a printed series. May also signed the following flyleaf in a totally different hand. In the same hand, along the bottom edge, is: Christmas 1945. The interioro of the book is otherwise unmarked. It contains the following Henry James stories: Four Meetings, A Bundle of Letters, Louisa Pallant, The Liar, The Real Thing, The Beast in the Jungle, the Jolly Corner and ten more. Fadiman has inserted comments after each of the stories. Page edges yellowing faintly, as the paper probably was that obtainable during World War II. 644 pages. Binding tight, square.
