Reading Henry James

I’ve added a new page to the site: a chronology of Henry James’s life. (You can see a link to in in the sidebar at the right.) Since “pages” I add to the site don’t show up in the RSS feed, I’ll post a brief article each time I add one. I’ll be adding a few more in the coming weeks, to provide resources about Henry’s life and works.

The chronology comes from the Library of America’s Henry James series. They were kind enough to allow me to reproduce it here. I’ve said in other posts how much I appreciate their series of Henry James’s works. With currently 14 volumes, they’ve got two more books planned to finish off the series (though there’s always a chance that they’ll publish more, such as his plays and notebooks).

I’ve got links to their books in my Henry James Bibliography. These are links to pages on Amazon.com (your purchases give me a small commission to defray my costs for this site, and my book habit). You can also go to the Library of America site and search for Henry James’s books. If you’re a real Henry James fan, you should check out their editions; there is no equivalent. You may also be interested in subscribing to their offerings, which include other great American authors.

But I digress. Enjoy the chronology, and stay tuned for some information on my first reading in my project. If you’re new to the site, and haven’t yet read my mission statement, do so. You’ll see what my strange project is all about.
