Excerpt from The Letters of Henry James, Vol. 2 The much-debated visit to America took lace at last in 1904, and in ten very full months James secured that renewed saturation in can experience which he desired before it should be too late for his advantage. He saw far more of his country in these months than he had_ ever seen in old days. He went with the definite purpose of writing a book of impressions, and these were to be principally the impressions of a restored absentee, reviving the sunken and overlaid mem ories of his youth. But his memories were practi cally of New York, Newport and Boston only; to the country beyond he came for the most part as a complete stranger; and his voyage of new dis covery proved of an interest as great as that which he found in revisiting ancient haunts.

Excerpt from The Letters of Henry James, Vol. 1 When Henry James wrote the reminiscences of his youth he shewed conclusively, what indeed could be doubtful to none who knew him, that it would be impossible for anyone else to write his life. His life was no mere succession of facts, such as could be compiled and recorded by another hand; it was a densely knit cluster of emotions and memories, each one steeped in lights and colours thrown out by the rest, the whole making up a picture that no one but himself could dream of undertaking to paint. Strictly speaking this may be true of every human being; but in most lives experience is taken as it comes and left to rest in the memory where it happens to fall. Henry James never took anything as it came; the thing that happened to him was merely the point of departure for a deliberate, and as time went on a more and more masterly, creative energy, which could never leave a sight or sound of any kind until it had been looked at and listened to with absorbed attention, pondered in thought, linked with its associations, and which did not spend itself until the remembrance had been crystallised in expression, so that it could then be appropriated like a tangible object.

The Letters of Henry James By Henry James Although he is regarded as one of the most important figures in American literature on account of his novels and short stories, Henry James was also a prolific writer of letters, sometimes penning as many as three or four in a single day. In this comprehensive volume, letters addressed to family members and literary figures including William Dean Howells and Robert Louis Stevenson are collected, spanning topics from the lofty to the quotidian. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
