The glimpses that the letters offer of James’s conflictedness as a writer are among the volumes’ most valuable features-contributing, as [Sarah] Wadsworth suggests, to a more humanizing portrait than ‘the master’ image propagated by twentieth-century critics. . . . Michael Anesko and Gregory W. Zacharias’s achievement amounts to a culmination; they have given us authoritative editions comprising all James’s extant letters, complete with helpful contextual information.”-Rafael Walker, \u003ci\u003eEdith Wharton Review\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e“The series is exemplary in its meticulous attention to details of what James wrote. . . . Despite the unconventional look of this text, the edition is highly readable, and the letters are supplemented by ample explanatory notes, as well as illustrations. . . . It is the distinctively modern status of James’s work and his self-conception that is particularly interesting for contemporary scholarship, and this modernity is amply attested to in this collection of letters, many of which, of course, have never previously been published.”-Guy Davidson, \u003ci\u003eAustralasian Journal of American Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e“At long last we now have a complete edition, which reproduces James’s own corrections as he was writing the letters and gives scrupulous annotations, ending with a biographical register of all correspondence. . . . Even at this early stage we can see how James used his letters to family and friends to strike stances relevant to his planned career. . . . [These volumes] set a very high standard for subsequent volumes to follow.”-David Seed, \u003ci\u003eJournal of American Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e“James is one of the few writers who could not have written a boring or imprecise word even if just writing a little letter to a friend. . . . This is a great addition to libraries of all sorts, and it should be inspiration for writers to browse through some of these letters to find another writer’s input on topics we all have to ponder.”-Anna Faktorovich, \u003ci\u003ePennsylvania Literary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThis first volume in \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Letters of Henry James, 1888–1891\u003c\/i\u003e contains 171 letters, of which 119 are published for the first time, written from late November 1888 to April 20, 1890. These letters continue to mark Henry James’s ongoing efforts to care for his sister, develop his work, strengthen his professional status, build friendships, engage with timely political and economic issues, and maximize his income, which included hiring an agent. James details his work on \u003ci\u003eThe Tragic Muse\u003c\/i\u003e, “Mrs. Temperly,” “An Animated Conversation,” “The Solution,” and other fiction. This volume opens with James in France and concludes with James on the Continent.
