About this book
The opening essay turns a biography of Emerson into a discussion of how a writer's life can be put on the page. Henry James weighs the editor's use of letters, the quiet routines of Concord and the connection between literary character and social surroundings. These questions set the direction of a collection first published in 1888, where judgments about books sit alongside portraits of the people who wrote them.
The contents move through George Eliot, Anthony Trollope, Robert Louis Stevenson, Alphonse Daudet and Ivan Turgénieff, then close with The Art of Fiction. In the essay on Daudet, James considers the influence of Provence, the author's expressive style and his ability to observe his own temperament.
