Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Already The Subject Of Articles In The International Herald Tribune And The London Times, Beloved Boy Is A Remarkable Collection Of Letters Tracing Henry Jamess Fascination With And Enduring Devotion To A Young Norwegianamerican Artist. James Was Already Fiftysix When, Visiting Rome In 1899, He Was Introduced To The Twentysevenyearold Hendrik Andersen. In An Uncanny Instance Of Life Imitating Art, Andersen Bore An Unmistakable Resemblance To The Title Character Of Jamess 1875 Novel Roderick Hudsona Figure Who, Like Andersen, Was A Young Sculptor Venturing Into Life As An Expatriate In Italy. Although His Initial Meeting With Andersen Was Brief, James Was Deeply Moved By The Young Man. He Wrote To Andersen Almost Immediately After His Return To His Sussex Home, And Remained A Faithful Correspondent Until His Own Death In 1915.The Two Men Met On Only Seven Occasions, And Never For More Than A Few Days, So Their Friendship Was Almost Entirely Epistolary. The Letters Assembled Here, Nearly Half Of Which Are Previously Unpublished, Exhibit A Voice Decidedly More Vulnerable Than That Which We Usually Associate With James. They Also Shed New Light On The Writers Homoerotic Leanings, As He Approaches Andersen With A Passion, As Well As A Tenderness, Typically Reserved For A Lover.Even Greater Than His Feelings For Andersen, However, Was Jamess Devotion To Art. Despite An Initially Positive Opinion, James Was Forced To Reassess Andersens Work, Which Became Increasingly Grandiose Exhibiting Megalomania, As James Bluntly Diagnosed It. The Sculptors Tendency Toward Monumentality, Including Plans For A Utopian World City, Were At Odds With Jamess Commitment To Observing Reality In All Its Complexity And Imperfection. Despite This, Jamess Affection For His Friend Never Wavered; His Letters Remained Occasions To Celebrate The Youth And Beauty Personified For Him By Andersen.
