Description

Recipient of the Approved Edition seal from the Modern Language Association's Committee on Scholarly Editions This second volume of The Complete Letters of Henry James, 1884-1886 contains 156 letters, of which 111 are published for the first time, written from December 24, 1885, to December 31, 1886. These letters mark Henry James's ongoing efforts to care for his sister, develop his work, strengthen his professional status, build friendships, engage timely political and economic issues, and maximize his income. James details work on his midcareer novel The Princess Casamassima and announces plans for The Tragic Muse. This volume opens with James's engagement with friends in Britain and France and concludes with his arrival in Italy for a six-month visit.
