Bøker av Henry James

Una historia que no puede ser clasificada ni como cuento ni como novela. Mas no importa. Es Henry James, el autor de la siempre magnífica Otra vuelta de tuerca. Con eso basta.He visitado alguna literatura oriental y varias literaturas occidentales; he compilado una enciclopédica antología de la literatura fantástica; he traducido a Kafka y a Melville, a Swedenborg y a Bloy; no sé de una obra más extraña que la de James. Iniciada la lectura, nos molesta alguna ambigüedad, algún rasgo superficial; al cabo de unas páginas comprendemos que deliberadas negligencias enriquecen el libro.Jorge Luis Borges sobre La humillación de los Northmore

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. While Watch and Ward has long been dismissed as an early apprentice work, it marks an important stage in James's development as a fiction writer, building upon the stories he wrote during the late 1860s and pointing, at the same time, to the works he would write during the ensuing decade and which would secure his reputation, including 'Daisy Miller', The American and The Portrait of a Lady. Extensive explanatory notes enable modern readers to understand the novel's historical, cultural and literary references.
