The Jolly Corner and Other Tales, 1903–1910 includes the final ten stories James wrote. Many involve satirical critiques of an increasingly narcissistic, acquisitive society - from 'The Papers', with its attack on celebrity culture, to 'The Birthplace', offering a sardonic view of the Shakespeare industry, and 'A Round of Visits', which conducts a horrified tour through selfishness and swindling in early twentieth-century New York. The title story itself was in James's own view 'a miraculous masterpiece in the line of the fantastic-gruesome, the supernatural-thrilling … the best thing of this sort I've ever done'. With its extensive textual history and wide-ranging notes, this volume will interest not only James scholars, but all students of early twentieth-century Anglo-American literature and culture.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e General editors' 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 Jolly Corner and Other Tales\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of foreign words and phrases\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Textual variants\u003cbr\u003e Emendations\u003cbr\u003e Appendix A: entries in James's notebooks\u003cbr\u003e Appendix B: extracts from prefaces to the New York edition.\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]\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":52415671894296,"sku":"9781009655613","price":24.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781009655613i.jpg?v=1784421866","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-jolly-corner-and-other-tales-1903-1910-paperback-softback-9781009655613","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
