By combining the techniques of textual criticism and the insights
of close reading, Generous Mistakes offers new perspectives not
only on two of Henry James's major novels (The Portrait of a Lady
and The Ambassadors) but also on the process by which they became
the books we know-or think we know. Through a better understanding
of the conditions of production that affected James's author
function, we achieve a deeper appreciation of the historical
contingencies of his artistry. Closely examining new forms of
evidence (even fingerprints), Generous Mistakes contends that
authorship is a hybrid construction, a sometimes unpredictable
sequence of different forms of practice, each of which contributes
meaningfully to the texts we read and analyze. Offering a sustained
examination of the 'textual condition' of James's work-going beyond
the relatively familiar ground of authorial revision-this study
brings into sharper focus the complex and sometimes arbitrary
factors that contributed to the making of two masterpieces of
modern fiction and to the legend of the master who wrote them.
