Equally adept at ironic comedy, muted tragedy, & supernatural fantasy, at lively social satire & nuanced portraiture, James in his shorter works explores a staggering variety of situations & emotions. Here are courtships & legacies; the worlds of literature, theatre, & the popular press; the paradoxes of temperament & the constraints of custom; the clash of conscience & desire. Stylistically, the stories allowed James to experiment w/ tones & devices quite different from his novels: dramatic plot twists & surprise endings, swift pacing & ebullient humor. The brilliance of his technical command allowed him to transform the tiniest of suggestions (a fleetingly observed gesture, an anecdote dropped at a dinner party) into fiction remarkable for its lambent surfaces & intricate psychological counterpoint. The 21 stories in this volume represent James at the peak of his storytelling powers. Among them are "The Turn of the Screw", one of his most popular works, & a terrifying exercise in psychological horror centering on the corruption of childhood innocence; ?The Real Thing,? a playful consideration of the illusion of art & the paradoxes of authenticity; "The Figure in the Carpet", "The Death of the Lion", & "The Middle Years", 3 very different expositions of the mysteries of authorship, embodying some of James' most profound insights into the nature of his own art; "The Altar of the Dead", a somber, ultimately wrenching meditation on the relation of the living to the dead; & "In the Cage", an extended evocation of the inner life of a young woman trapped in a dehumanizing job at a postal-&-telegraph office. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: John Hollander & David Bromwich are Poet Laureate of the State of Connecticut & Sterling Professor at Yale University, respectively.
