The Notebooks of Henry James

For other novelists the value of Henry James's Notebooks is immense and to brood other them a major experience. The glow of the great impresario is on the pages. They are occasionally readable and endlessly stimulating, often moving and are ocasionally relieved by a drop of gossip.--V. S. Pritchett, New Statesman The Notebooks take us into his study, and here we can observe him, at last, in the very act of creation at his writing table.--Leon Edel, Atlantic Monthly A document of prime importance.--Edmund Wilson, New Yorker
