The Notebooks of Henry James - Paperback

by Henry James (Author), F. O. Matthiessen (Editor), Kenneth B. Murdock (Editor)

"For other novelists the value of Henry James's Notebooks is immense and to brood over them a major experience. The glow of the great impresario is on the pages. They are occasionally readable and endlessly stimulating, often moving and are ocasionally relieved by a drop of gossip."--V. S. Pritchett, New Statesman

"The Notebooks take us into his study, and here we can observe him, at last, in the very act of creation at his writing table."--Leon Edel, Atlantic Monthly

"A document of prime importance."--Edmund Wilson, New Yorker
