Henry James: The Contemporary Reviews presents the most thorough
gathering of newspaper and magazine reviews of James's work ever
assembled. Other volumes in the American Critical Archives series
have concentrated on reviews from American publications, but
because of the importance of James's British connection, this issue
generously samples reviews from British newspapers and periodicals.
The focus here is on the novels, but reviews of James's most
important travel narrative are included as well. The volume ends
with reviews of The American Scene, James's impressionistic
narrative of his relationship with his birthplace. This collection
also reprints many rarely seen notices written by the most
important women reviewers of the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. Each chapter ends with a checklist of
additional reviews not presented here. The introduction surveys the
major themes of the reviews and also shows the extent to which they
personally influenced James and his work.
