These new volumes of The Complete Letters of Henry James deserve our admiration for their scholarly rigor and the teamwork required not only of the volume editors and Michael Anesko but also of the associate editors, editorial assistants, and advisory group of this monumental project. . . . These handsome volumes . . . [are] extraordinary resources.”—John Carlos Rowe, \u003ci\u003eResource for American Literary Study\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Rippling through these letters are the first imaginative stirrings of one of the greatest fiction and travel writers in the language.

The letters themselves are so vivid, funny, and revealing that [the edition] is already indispensable.”—Alan Hollinghurst, \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “The general public has been deprived of James’s full epistolary record until now. . . .
