Summary:

"This new scholarly edition presents Henry James's breakthrough work, 'Daisy Miller', in the context of his remarkable output as a short-story writer in the five years from 1874 to 1879. The collection includes several little-known and rarely republished tales, which show the surprising breadth of James's writing practice during this period. Spanning a variety of American and European settings and encompassing a range of narrative modes from Hawthornesque romance to photographic realism, these tales offer fascinating insights into the thematic and stylistic development of James's mature work. The volume includes a substantial Introduction which discusses the stories' composition, publication and contemporary reception, as well as their 'afterlives' on stage and screen. Detailed annotations offer unparalleled insights into the historical and cultural contexts of the works, while a complete textual apparatus displays variants between different published and manuscript versions of the texts"-- Cambridge Core
