Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This fully-annotated selection from James's eloquent correspondence allows the writer to reveal himself and the fascinating world in which he lived. James numbered among his correspondents the writers William Dean Howells, Henry Adams, Robert Louis Stevenson, H.G. Wells and Edith Wharton, as well as presidents and prime ministers, painters and great ladies, actresses and bishops. These letters provide a rich and fascinating source for James' views on his own works, on the literary craft, on sex, politics and friendship, and collectively constitute in Philip Horne's own words, James' 'real and best biography'.
