James's The Europeans gently satirizes both early nineteenth-century New England society and the sophisticated visiting Europeans who encounter it. While this wryly comic novel has had its critical champions - F. R. Leavis and Richard Poirier among them - it has not previously received the scholarly attention it deserves. This edition, based on the work's first book appearance (Macmillan, 1878), reconstructs the novel's literary, cultural and historical contexts, provides extensive annotation, and gives a detailed textual history of the work, drawing on newly available James letters. It will be of interest to James scholars, book historians and students of nineteenth-century Anglo-American literature and culture, and will also re-introduce readers to the pleasures of Henry James's early style.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eGeneral editors' preface\u003cbr\u003e General chronology of James' life and writings\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Textual introduction\u003cbr\u003e Chronology of composition and production\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e The Europeans\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of foreign words and phrases\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Textual variants\u003cbr\u003e List of emendations.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Classic fiction [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Classic fiction\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Classic%20fiction%20%5Bpre%20c%201945%5D%20%5BFC%5D%22\"\u003epre c 1945 FC\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary reference works [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary reference works\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20reference%20works%20%5BDSR%5D%22\"\u003eDSR\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary studies: fiction, novelists \u0026amp; prose writers [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: fiction, novelists \u0026amp; prose writers\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20fiction,%20novelists%20\u0026amp;%20prose%20writers%20%5BDSK%5D%22\"\u003eDSK\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary studies: from c 1900 - [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: from c 1900 -\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20from%20c%201900%20-%20%5BDSBH%5D%22\"\u003eDSBH\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20c%201800%20to%20c%201900%20%20%5BDSBF%5D%22\"\u003eDSBF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52415671992600,"sku":"9781009655941","price":21.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781009655941i.jpg?v=1784421867","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-europeans-paperback-softback-9781009655941","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
