 | This volume, one of five collecting the complete stories of Henry James, presents in the approximate order of their composition 17 stories that were first published between 1884 and 1891. All of these stories were published in periodicals and later collected, with revisions, in book form. For all but three of the stories, the first English and American book versions were published by the same firm, Macmillan and Company, from the same typesetting. In the cases of Georgina's Reasons, A New England Winter, and The Path of Duty, James had different publishers in England and America, with resulting variation between the English and American versions of the stories; James was living in England at the time, and the English book printings contain James' latest authorial revisions. The texts printed in this volume are taken from their first English book editions.
|
| The following list gives the first periodical, first American, and first English book publications of the stories included in this volume. (James later included II of the stories in the 19079 New York Edition of his collected works: Louisa Pallant, The Liar, The Aspern Papers, A London Life, The Lesson of the Master, The Patagonia, The Pupil, Brooksmith, The Marriages, The Chaperon, and Sir Edmund Orme.)
