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. 'The Jolly Corner and Other Tales, 1903-1910' includes the final
ten stories James wrote. Many involve satirical critiques of an increasingly narcissistic,
acquisitive society - from 'The Papers', with its attack on celebrity culture, to
'The Birthplace', offering a sardonic view of the Shakespeare industry, and 'A Round
of Visits', which conducts a horrified tour through selfishness and swindling in early
twentieth-century New York. The title story itself was in James's own view 'a miraculous
masterpiece in the line of the fantastic-gruesome, the supernatural-thrilling ...
the best thing of this sort I've ever done'. With its extensive textual history and
wide-ranging notes, this volume will interest not only James scholars, but all students
of early twentieth-century Anglo-American literature and culture
