The Cambridge Edition of the Complete Fiction of Henry James
provides, for the first time, a scholarly edition of a major writer
whose work continues to be read, quoted, adapted and studied. The
nine tales in this volume, published between 1884 and 1888, include
'The Aspern Papers', set in Venice and featuring a devious scholar
attempting to steal the letters of an American poet from his former
lover, and 'The Liar,' on the world of painters and their models.
These tales exemplify James's continuing interest in the art of
short fiction during a period which saw him responding to the
stimulations of French naturalism and successfully reworking the
international theme that had made him famous at the end of the
1870s. Extensive explanatory notes enable modern readers to
understand the tales' historical, cultural and literary references.
