5.0 out of 5 stars The master at work, March 1, 2006
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best LOA James Editions, September 29, 2004
By Ken Schellenberg (Arlington, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.
