More than two decades of research, study, and literary detection lie behind this treasury of stories by one of the undisputed giants in the field of American fiction. Professor Floyd Horowitz here offers a stunning collection of tales that he himself has authenticated to be the youthful work of the prodigiously gifted Henry James. Published anonymously or under noms de plume in magazines, these previously uncollected pieces represent both apprentice work and early stories that already bear the mark of Jamesian artistry. Written in a period of more than ten years before James’s first signed fiction appeared (in 1865) and readily accepted by the publishers and editors among his father’s excellent connections, these uncovered stories add significantly to the James canon.
