| Item Description: | Half-title; each volume has separate title page. Volumes 1-24 include critical prefaces by the author; volumes 25-26, left unfinished at the author's death, are edited by Percy Lubbock. James was an inveterate reviser of his works, and for the New York edition he made extensive alterations in many of his fictions, especially earlier works like Roderick Hudson and The American. A handwritten autographed letter by Henry James is tipped in volume one. The New York Edition of Henry James' fiction was a 24 volume collection of the Anglo-American writer's novels, novellas and short stories, originally published in the U.S. and the U.K. in 1907-1909. Two more volumes containing James' unfinished novels, The Ivory Tower and The Sense of the Past, were issued in 1917 in a format consistent with the original set. The entire collection was republished in 1922. The Cushing Library/Basbanes Collection copy is part of the Nicholas A. Basbanes Collection and contains the bookplates of Ruth and Loring Dodd. |
