Description

James’s correspondents included presidents and prime ministers, painters and great ladies, actresses and bishops, and the writers Robert Louis Stevenson, H.G. Wells and Edith Wharton. This fully-annotated selection from James’s eloquent correspondence allows the writer to reveal himself and the fascinating world in which he lived. The letters provide a rich and fascinating source for James’ views on his own works, on the literary craft, on sex, politics and friendship. Together they constitute, in Philip Horne’s own words, James’ ‘real and best biography’.
