description: The widespread revival of interest in the novels of Henry James provides the editors of the modern library with the opportunity of fulfilling a long-cherished plan to issue The Portrait of a Lady.Confronted with an embarrassment of riches in making a choice among so many novels, this selection was made because it most completely embodies the spirit and substance of Henry James' unique gifts. The recognition given him by discriminating readers during the last part of the nineteenth century promises to be renewed in the twentieth.
