The master at work,
By
This review is from: Henry James: Literary Criticism French Writers; Other European Writers; The Prefaces to the New York Edition (Hardcover)
This is the most comprehensive collection of James' literary criticism ever assembled in one volume. It also contains the masterpiece 'New York Prefaces' to his novels.
James is one of the supreme artists in formulating an appreciation and understanding of what his art is all about. He sets the tone in fact for the literary critics who will come to interpret his work,(Leavis, Dupee, Edel et al.) a tone of civilized mastery and perceptive intelligence. A diligent cultured informed tone capable of the most refined critical distinctions, and yet with narrative power even in works of criticism. James also is of course a master critic of the art of others, and this volume contains many examples of this, in his writing of Flaubert , Turgenev, Poe, Maupassant just to name a few.

This review is from: Henry James: Literary Criticism French Writers; Other European Writers; The Prefaces to the New York Edition (Hardcover)
Of particular interest in this volume are James' reviews of Balzac and Turgenev, and the prefaces he wrote for the New York Edition of his own work.
