By every measure, the volumes we have so far are simply outstanding in every major respect. The books are physically beautiful inside and out; Walker and Zacharias have edited the letters to within an inch of their lives. . . . The result is an embarrassment of critical and biographical riches.”—Bruce Bawer, \u003ci\u003eNew Criterion\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  “The letters collected in these elegant three volumes, edited by Pierre A. Walker and Greg W. Zacharias, cover the period in which Henry James became Henry James. . . . [An] extraordinary job of editing. . . . Both the footnotes and the biographical register at the back of each volume are at once succinct and full. They allow any reader to place and know the people in this busy social world.”—Michael Gorra, \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplemen\u003c\/i\u003et \u003cbr\u003e  “Rippling through these letters are the first imaginative stirrings of one of the greatest fiction and travel writers in the language. [James] was also one of the most entertaining—and prolific—correspondents. . . . These are richly enthralling letters.”—Peter Kemp, \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e (London)\u003cbr\u003e  “The textual editing of the letters is fantastically thorough, every blot, deletion, insertion, and misspelling being lucidly presented in the text itself and further described in endnotes to each letter; for the reader this evokes the dash and spontaneity of James’s pen, and for the scholar it clarifies every possible ambiguity caused by that dash. . . . The letters themselves are so vivid, funny, and revealing that [the edition] is already indispensable.”—Alan Hollinghurst, \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “The general public has been deprived of James’s full epistolary record until now. . . . All the more reason to celebrate the present volumes, handsomely produced and extensively and intelligently annotated.”—Peter Brooks, \u003ci\u003eBookforum\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Like earlier releases in the ambitious Complete Letters of Henry James series, this richly rewarding compilation is well annotated and scrupulously edited.”—J. J. Benardete, \u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “For a snapshot of nineteenth-century Europe—and a sampling of a great novelist’s young mind—there is perhaps nothing better than the latest, meticulously edited volume of The Complete Letters of Henry James [series].”—Alexander Theroux, \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “The volumes are beautiful, solidly put together, with big type, wide margins, and copious annotations.”—Edmund V. White, \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “These extraordinary, profoundly welcome volumes are the first fruits of an epic undertaking by two heroic American scholars, Pierre Walker and Greg Zacharias. . . . These early volumes give a wonderfully pleasurable picture of a writer at the beginning of his journey, enduring setbacks and barren spells, but already showing the impressive resilience, wisdom, and wit that were the foundations of his astonishing career.”—Philip Horne, \u003ci\u003eDaily Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments    \u003cbr\u003e Symbols and Abbreviations    \u003cbr\u003e Chronology     \u003cbr\u003e Errata    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1879\u003cbr\u003e September 2    To Delano Alexander Goddard    \u003cbr\u003e September 14    To Mary Walsh James    \u003cbr\u003e September 14    To Alexander Macmillan    \u003cbr\u003e September 14    To Thomas Sergeant Perry    \u003cbr\u003e [September 15-22]    To Isabella Stewart Gardner    \u003cbr\u003e September 18    To Josiah Holland    \u003cbr\u003e September 27    To Chatto \u0026amp; Windus    \u003cbr\u003e September 28    To Alexander Macmillan    \u003cbr\u003e [early October]     To Frances Rollins Morse    \u003cbr\u003e October 5    To Chatto \u0026amp; Windus    \u003cbr\u003e October 11    To Henry James Sr.    \u003cbr\u003e October 13    To Chatto \u0026amp; Windus    \u003cbr\u003e October 17    To Grace Norton    \u003cbr\u003e October 19    To Alexander Macmillan    \u003cbr\u003e October 21    To Alexander Macmillan    \u003cbr\u003e October 31    To William Dean Howells    \u003cbr\u003e October 31    To Henry James Sr.     \u003cbr\u003e November 2    To Thomas Sergeant Perry    \u003cbr\u003e November 6    To Henrietta Heathorn Huxley    \u003cbr\u003e November 10    To William James    \u003cbr\u003e November 18    To Mary Walsh James    \u003cbr\u003e [November 19]    To Julia C.
