Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Contexts includes twenty-six selections, from James's letters, notebooks, and other writings during the period 1863-1908, centering on the ghost story, the supernatural and, in particular, "my little book," The Turn of the Screw. Also reproduced are four paintings by Charles Demuth. The essays in Criticism span one hundred years, providing a rich array of perspectives on James and his story. Representing contemporary reactions are pieces by Henry Harland, John D. Barry, Oliver Elton, William Lyon Phelps, and Virginia Woolf. The section also includes landmark criticism by Harold Goddard, Edna Kenton, Edmund Wilson, Katherine Anne Porter, Robert B. Heilman, R. P. Blackmur, Maurice Blanchot, and Leon Edel. Recent, fresh approaches to James's work are presented by Tzvetan Todorov, Shoshana Felman, Henry Sussman, Bruce Robbins, Ned Lukacher, Paul B. Armstrong, and T. J. Lustig. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are included.

Reseña del editor:

On the centenary of its initial publication in 1898, "The Turn of the Screw" remains one of Henry James' most remarkable narratives, one whose popularity when it was published is matched by its power to stir readers today. It is one of James' most teachable texts, and therefore provides an introduction to the intricacies of James' style and technique in the novels of the "major phase". This edition provides the New York edition text, with history and notes, accompanied by revised background and source materials.
