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.
