The Stories In This Collection Were Written Mostly Between 1888 And 1897, A Time When Henry Jamess Writing Was Concerned With The Art Of Fiction And The Position Of The Artist In Society. The Motif And Title Story, The Figure In The Carpet, Is An Inspired Joke, A Masterpiece Of Doubleentendre That Demands The Readers Undivided Love And Attention And Continues To Baffle Its Critics. Also Included Are The Author Of Beltraffio, An Absorbing Story Of Family Infighting, Authorship And Tragedy, And The Private Life, A Spirited Tale That Considers The Contrast Between The Artist Alone And At Work. While Many Of These Stories Appear To Be Elaborate Jamesian Games, All Employ Irony And Humour To Allegorize Artistic Creation.For More Than Seventy Years, Penguin Has Been The Leading Publisher Of Classic Literature In The Englishspeaking World. With More Than 1,700 Titles, Penguin Classics Represents A Global Bookshelf Of The Best Works Throughout History And Across Genres And Disciplines. Readers Trust The Series To Provide Authoritative Texts Enhanced By Introductions And Notes By Distinguished Scholars And Contemporary Authors, As Well As Uptodate Translations By Awardwinning Translators.
