This definitive collection gathers the critical prefaces Henry James wrote for the New York Edition of his fiction. Through these essays, James articulates his rigorous philosophy of composition, exploring the technical challenges of point of view, narrative structure, and the moral responsibilities of the novelist. It remains an essential primary text for understanding the development of the modern novel and the formal evolution of literary realism.
