description: Excerpt from The Question of Henry A Collection of Critical Essays But among 'wells's contemporaries were other writers - Con rad, Ford Madox Ford, Percy Lubboclc - whose appreciation of James's art was profound. For them his researches in form were an integral feature of his genius; and they did not hesitate, if they were novelists, to take over certain of his innovations; or if they were gi'lts, to adopt his theories as their own. The whole period in England was one of experiment in novel writing; and James's literary principles, as embodied in his novels and stories and explained in the prefaces to the New York Edition of his work, helped to stimulate some very good books on the poetics of the novel and inspired even in those who disagreed an atten tion which at that time they seldom received in America.
