An exploration of the links between James’s fiction and his scholarly life: his research, his interests, his likely anxieties. Since I think delving into the underpinnings of a James story is as enjoyable as the tale’s “pleasing terrors,” this book was a must-read.

An informal study companion that I put together for the text.
