Description: "Conventional analyses of Henry James conclude with the completed novels of the major phase and the revisions of the New York Edition (1907-1909). However, James lived on to write vigorously for nearly a decade longer. In this study, Adeline R. Tintner focuses on the writer's final years, exploring how his work developed and how his ideas changed in response to events in the twentieth century.

As Tintner illustrates, despite his age and the long career behind him, James heralded in his later works the modernism that would be most fully represented by Joyce, Eliot, and Proust."--BOOK JACKET.
