Originally written as three complete books, this one-volume edition includes A Small Boy and Others, Notes of a Son and Brother, and The Middle Years. Begun when James was sixty-eight years old, it was written at a time when his great critical mind was actively devoted to the understanding of his existence in its complicated wholeness. The reader will come away from the book with a picture of the man within the novelist--the intimate basis of James's themes and methods.Taking its place beside The Education of Henry Adams and Hawthorne's "The Custom House," the work is an important contribution to America's autobiographic literature. It is a highly personal account of the great novelist's discovery of Europe and of his artistic vocation, as well as a fascinating story of the life of one of the most remarkable families of the nineteenth century, the members of which experienced, in James's own words, "the classic years of the great Americano-European legend."Originally published in 1983.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.… (plus d'informations)

Although anathema to the current masters of English prose, Henry James' long complex sentences, replete with asides, and wide-ranging vocabulary, much of which is beyond today's mass reader, yields for me a sweet delight which the vulgar 'newspaper-ese', as Henry James termed it, falls short of its objectives, calling to mind the Greek 'hamartia'. Therefore, those who are apalled by 'run-on sentences', which I seem to remember as the appropriate term for this Jamesian virtue when seen as vice, from English classes in secondary school in a mid-Twentieth Century, would probably want to avoid this book.
