In 1914, Henry James began work on a major novel about the immense new fortunes of Americas Gilded Age. After an absence of more than twenty years, James had returned for a visit to his native country; what he found there filled him with profound dismay. In The Ivory Tower, his last book, the characteristic pattern underlying so much of his fictionin which American innocence is transformed by its encounter with European experiencereceives a new twist: raised abroad, the hero comes home to America to confront, as James puts it, the black and merciless things that are behind the great possessions.James died in 1916 with the first three books of The Ivory Tower completed. He also left behind a treatment, in which he charted the further progress of his story. This fascinating scenario, one of only two to survive among Jamess papers, is also published here together with a striking critical essay by Ezra Pound.
