The Mature Master
by Sheldon M. Novick
Using hundreds of letters only recently made available and taking a fresh look at primary materials, Novick reveals a man utterly unlike the passive, repressed, and privileged observer painted by other biographers. Henry James is seen anew, as a passionate and engaged man of his times, driven to achieve greatness and fame, drawn to the company of other men, able to write with sensitivity about women as he shared their experiences of love and family responsibility.
"Starred Review. [A]ny reader interested in the master's political development or prolific working methods would do well to turn to this definitive work." - Publishers Weekly.
