This distinguished trio of Henry James titles presents a rare opportunity to own three landmark works from one of literature's most celebrated masters. Selected Letters of Henry James ( 1956; white-out on fep), edited and introduced by Leon Edel, gathers the most illuminating of James's personal correspondence, offering an intimate portrait of the novelist's inner life, friendships, and creative philosophy. Watch and Ward (1960; name penned on fep; DJ price clipped), accompanied by an introductory essay by Edel, presents James's first serialised novel — a psychologically intricate tale of guardianship, dependency, and desire that foreshadows the complex moral architecture of his later masterworks. Rounding out the set, Guy Domville (1961) chronicles James's ill-fated foray into theatre, a three-act play with commentary by Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, and Arnold Bennett, edited alongside a biographical account of James as a dramatist by Edel himself. Together, these volumes — each bearing the hallmark of Edel's rigorous scholarship — constitute an essential collection for any serious reader of American literature.
