Comprised of more than 250 selections from Henry James's stories about writers, his critical and speculative essays, his "Notebooks," Prefaces, and letters, this collection brings together for the first time, in a single, systematic volume, all the important passages in James's work which have implications for or ideas about his theory of fiction. The result is the most comprehensive, exhaustive, and innovative volume of fictional theory ever published; in many ways it is the consummation of James's contribution to letters.
In a masterful introductory essay, James E. Miller Jr., presents James's theory of fiction in outline; he also contributes brief introductions to each of the seventeen chapters, summarizing the major points. Abundant guides direct the reader to subjects and sources.
Henry James (1843-1916) es una de las máximas figuras de la literatura en lengua inglesa. Además de "Washington Square", entre sus obras más conocidas se cuentan "El retrato de una dama" y "Otra vuelta de tuerca" -ambas publicadas en Alianza Editorial-, "Los papeles de Aspern" o "Las alas de la paloma". "Washington Square" fue llevada al cine por William Wyler con el título de "La heredera".
