Books with title THE COMPLETE PLAYS OF HENRY JAMES.

Originally published in 1949, The Complete Plays of Henry James revealed how the novelist, after repeated attempts to succeed on stage, used his dramatic experience to create his major novels written after 1900. This masterful new edition by prize-winning biographer Leon Edel now charts James's posthumous success in the modern media. Through examination of the plays themselves, Edel brings to light the irony of James's dramatic novels--novels that achieved the kind of success in video and film that James had desperately sought in the theater of the 1890s. Corrected and carefully updated, this pathbreaking collection thus completes the story first told four decades ago, and includes additional data that has surfaced in recent years.

Henry James was an American writer. He is regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism.James is best known for a number of novels showing Americans encountering Europe and Europeans. James himself alternated between living in America and Europe for the first twenty years of his life. In the latter part of his life he eventually settled in England. James pioneered the use of imaginative point of views, interior monologues and unreliable narrators. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912, and 1916.The Collection•The Ambassadors•The American•The Awkward Age•The Bostonians (Vol I)•The Bostonians (Vol II)•Confidence•Daisy Miller: A Study (Novella)•The Europeans•The Golden Bowl•The Ivory Tower (Unfinished)•The Other House•The Outcry•The Portrait Of A Lady (Vol I)•The Portrait Of A Lady (Vol II)•The Princess Casamassima•The Reverberator•Roderick Hudson•The Sacred Fount•The Spoils Of Poynton•The Tragic Muse•The Wings Of The Dove (Vol I)•The Wings Of The Dove (Vol II)•The Turn Of The Screw (Novella)•Washington Square•Watch And Ward•What Maisie Knew
