E-raamat: Complete Letters of Henry James, 1884-1886: Volume 1

Praise for earlier volumes in The Complete Letters of Henry James series

Reading [ these] edited letters is a delight. The transcriptions allow one to read fluidly rather than haltingly, preserving the rhythm and tone of the original communications together with their content. The explanatory notes do a superb job of contextualizing the letters and identifying references and allusions within them. I could not help but admire the astonishing discernment and scholarship manifested in this volume.-Sarah Wadsworth, professor of English at Marquette University   Rippling through these letters are the first imaginative stirrings of one of the greatest fiction and travel writers in the language. [ James] was also one of the most entertaining-and prolific-correspondents. . . . These are richly enthralling letters.-Peter Kemp, Sunday Times (London)   This latest volume of the Complete Letters represents, no less than its forebears, an inestimable contribution to readers hitherto obliged to hunt down Jamess letters in various selections or scattered archives, and deserves to be greeted with the same jubilant chorus of praise and gratitude.-Alicia Rix, Times Literary Supplement
