Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
We work in the darkwe do what we canwe give what we have. The rest is the madness of art. These words, spoken by a dying novelist in The Middle Years, sum up Henry Jamess credo as a writer. In more than one hundred stories, ranging from brief anecdotes to richly developed novellas, James displayed the unwavering intensity of his aesthetic visionand he did so with an astonishing variety of invention. The Library of America makes this body of writing available in its entirety in a new, authoritative edition of Jamess worldfamous stories, complete in five volumes.The thirtyone stories presented here are the culmination of Jamess glorious final period. Among them are the extraordinary fantasies The Great Good Place and The Jolly Corner, in which supernatural motifs are used hauntingly to express undercurrents of yearning and dislocation; Julia Bride, a character portrait akin to Daisy Miller, in which a young American woman experiences the social pleasures and vicissitudes of the marriage market; Crapy Cornelia, a story whose sense of the compelling power of nostalgic memory owes much to Jamess 1904 return visit to New York City; The Birthplace, a comic tale about the commercialization of genius that has lost none of its satiric edge; The Tree of Knowledge, a sly dissection of the family life of a pampered sculptor; The Beast in the Jungle, one of Jamess masterpieces, the harrowing account of a mans confrontation with his own lost opportunities that has been seen as foreshadowing many of the dominant themes of twentiethcentury literature; and A Round of Visits, Jamess last story, about the need to confide and the limits of sympathy.LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nations literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, Americas best and most significant writing.
