Excerpt from The Method of Henry James
The Golden Bowl. There is no doubt at all that he takes greater satisfaction himself in the later works, and that he more often achieves in them the thing at which he was always more or less consciously aiming. Aside from his explicit statements, we have the further evi dence of his rejections.

The artist who was unwilling to revive The Bostonians was an artist who took more pleasure in The Wings of the Dove than in The American. If we are justified in describing The Princess Casamassima as of all the earlier novels the one most characteristic of its author, this is because it anticipates most nearly the technique of The Ambassadors, which he regards as quite the best, 'all round,' of his productions.
