A collection of essays studying the short stories of Henry James from 1843 to 1916. As a tribute to their professor, William T. Stafford, Joseph Dewey and Brooke Horrath gathered a contentious lot of essayists who take provocative stands and dare us to re-encounter Henry James.


This handsomely-bound volume presents 17 essays by international scholars on the short fiction of Henry James in honor of William T. Stafford. The contributions focus on some of James's less-scrutinized works from a variety of perspectives. A sampling of topics includes attacking women and reality in "The Aspern Papers," "The Altar of the Dead" as metafiction, the language and imagery of "The Jolly Corner," and objects of desire in James's early and late fiction.
