The Complete Letters of Henry James, 1855-1872, Vols. 1 and 2
Edited by Pierre A. Walker and Greg W. Zacharias
“The volumes are beautiful, solidly put together, with big type, wide margins, and copious annotations remarking on cross-outs and misspellings and new words written over old ones. . . . [They] bring a high seriousness to letters that were usually dashed off; certainly the scholars preparing these volumes will have spent many more hours on each letter than did either James or the recipients he was addressing.”—Edmund V. White, The New York Review of Books
