Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Sixth Printing, March 1973. 1036pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition. Erstwhile remainder has tiny red Random House stamp on tail of text block, o/w unmarked. Edited, and with an Introduction, by F. O. Matthiessen. "FOUR NOVELS, The Europeans, Washington Square, The Bostonians, and The Ivory Tower, with nine other stories by the great portrayer of American life and character, collected and with an Introduction by an acknowledged authority on Henry James." [front jacket cover text] "The novels and stories of Henry James that deal with the American scene and the American character illuminate our life as few other works of fiction have done in the whole long history of our literature. James was an acute, sensitive, and penetrating observer of the country of his birth and of his fellow countrymen, and what he had to say about them offers, in the aggregate, a fascinating insight. [] The present huge volume will be regarded by every discriminating reader as a magnificent editorial conception, brilliantly executed. The selection was made and a long Introduction written by F. O. Matthiessen, universally acknowledged to be our leading authority on James as well as one of our most distinguished literary critics. He worked out a volume of good reading that is a permanent addition to our appreciation of Henry James. [] There are whole novels in this volume (THE IVORY TOWER, THE BOSTONIANS, WASHINGTON SQUARE, THE EUROPEANS) and there are nine stories of varying length, including 'Julia Bride,''Europe,''A Round of Visits,' and 'The Story of a Year.' Typography and binding design by W. A. Dwiggins [jacket copy / front flap] "In THE IVORY TOWER, his last book, the characteristic pattern underlying so much of his fiction--in which American 'innocence' is transformed by its encounter with European 'experience'--receives a new twist: raised abroad, the hero comes home to America to confront, as James puts it, 'the black and merciless things that are behind the great possessions.' [] James died in 1916 with the first three books of THE IVORY TOWER completed. He also left behind a 'treatment,' in which he charted the further progress of his story. This fascinating scenario, one of only two to survive among James's papers, is also published here." Other stories include 'The Point of View,''A New England Winter,''Pandora,''The Jolly Corner,' and 'Crapy Cornelia.' Hefty & pristine NF hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, elegant green boards, wrapped in a handsome, price-clipped NF jacket covered in archival mylar. A fine collection, quite presentable.
