Novels 1871-1880

Resumen del libro

The first volume in what will eventually be a complete James presents five early novels filled with sparkling dialogue, masterfully timed suspense, and the romance of youthful and artistic aspiration: Watch and Ward, Roderick Hudson, The American, The Europeans, and Confidence. They appear in their original early versions, without the revisions James added in his later years, revealing his true early style-both in its occasional naïveté and its remarkable sharpness of observation.
