A Companion to Henry James cover

Written by some of the world's most distinguished Henry James scholars, this innovative collection of essays provides the most up-to-date scholarship on James’s writings available today.

  • Provides an essential, up-to-date reference to the work and scholarship of Henry James
  • Features the writing of a wide range of James scholars
  • Places James’s writings within national contexts—American, English, French, and Italian
  • Offers both an overview of contemporary James scholarship and a cutting edge resource for studying important individual topics

"This book, though, amply repays reading as a whole and in order, an achievement for a volume comprising twenty-eight separate essays. The whole hangs together and enriches each of the parts, leaving its reader enriched and encouraged to return to the essays to review (or revise, an important Jamesian term) facets of essays now highlighted by others." (English Studies, 2011)

"A Companion to Henry James is highly recommended for all libraries collecting on Anglo-American literature and culture." (Reference Reviews, 2009)

“Lovers of Henry James will be thrilled with this collection, which, as Zacharias notes in his introduction, aims to ‘represent the diversity and richness of James studies today.’” (Choice Reviews, June 2009)
