Download or read book Henry James and Revision written by Philip Horne and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the height of his career and the zenith of his creative powers, Henry James returned to works he had written up to thirty-five years before and "wrote them over" for the New York edition of his novels and tales (1907-1909). The first detailed study of the subject, this book uses new material to tell the story of James's heroic renewed commitment to his oeuvre. It examines the revision of particular works, shedding new light on interpretative controversies (especially with The Portrait of a Lady and Daisy Miller), and attends to questions of principle raised by the paradoxical processes of the reviser. Revealing James's painful struggle for perfection, the study illuminates his genius as a framer of sentences and a master of dramatic nuance. With both critical and biographical approaches, this vivid portrait of James's achievement will appeal to students of James and the novel.
