A Companion to Henry James: 55 (Blackwell Companions to Literature and Culture) - Softcover

?Lovers of Henry James will be thrilled with this collection, which, as Zacharias notes in his introduction, aims to ?represent the diversity and richness of James studies today.?? (Choice Reviews, June 2009) "This book, though, amply repays reading as a whole and in order, an achievement for a volume comprising twenty-eight separate essays. The whole hangs together and enriches each of the parts, leaving its reader enriched and encouraged to return to the essays to review (or revise, an important Jamesian term) facets of essays now highlighted by others." (English Studies, 2011) "A Companion to Henry James is highly recommended for all libraries collecting on Anglo-American literature and culture." (Reference Reviews, 2009)
