The nine tales in this volume, published between 1884 and 1888, include 'The Aspern Papers', set in Venice and featuring a devious scholar attempting to steal the letters of an American poet from his former lover, and 'The Liar,' on the world of painters and their models. These tales exemplify James's continuing interest in the art of short fiction during a period which saw him responding to the stimulations of French naturalism and successfully reworking the international theme that had made him famous at the end of the 1870s. Extensive explanatory notes enable modern readers to understand the tales' historical, cultural and literary references.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e List of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e General Editor's Preface\u003cbr\u003e General Chronology of James's Life and Writings\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Textual Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Chronology of Composition and Production\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e The Aspern Papers and Other Tales, 1884-188\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of Foreign Words and Phrases\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Textual Variants\u003cbr\u003e Emendations\u003cbr\u003e Appendix A.
