Description
This Cambridge Edition volume collects Henry James’s significant short fiction and novellas from the mid-1880s, a particularly productive period in his literary career. The centerpiece is ‘The Aspern Papers,’ a masterwork of psychological fiction that explores themes of literary obsession, privacy, and the unreliable nature of memory.
Alongside this novella, the collection includes other important tales that demonstrate James’s increasing sophistication in narrative technique and his fascination with the moral ambiguities of human behavior. The stories showcase his characteristic exploration of consciousness, particularly through the perspectives of protagonists grappling with desire, deception, and self-awareness.
Edited by Rosella Mamoli Zorzi and Simone Francescato, this Cambridge Edition provides authoritative texts with detailed scholarly introductions and notes that illuminate James’s artistic intentions and the historical contexts of these works’ composition and publication.
