"This is the last volume of my life of Henry James begun in 1950 and completed - to be exact - on 12 January 1971. It consists of five volumes or 'parts' after the serialized manner of certain Victorian works ... This biography has become then a five-part portrait, or let us think of it as consisting of five panels showing the countenance of the artist during the five phases of his life."--Introduction.

"Published during International Book Year 1972."--Dust jacket.
