Description
Henry James is increasingly recognized on both sides of the Atlantic as a great American novelist, described by Gore Vidal as the Shakespeare of the novel. Now that most of James's private letters and journals have passed out of private hands, a full revaluation of the life and work of this great writer is both necessary and possible, and the distinguished American writer Sheldon Novack provides it. A more interesting and complete figure emerges - a man with a deep fund of affection and humour; a powerful, confident, passionate, generous, and above all, a courageous man.
