Henry James's Style of Retrospect

This publication traces James's engagement with the writing of the recent past across the last 25 years of his life and examines the thoroughgoing change his style underwent in this last phase of his career, as his focus turned from the observation of contemporary manners to biographical commemoration and autobiographical reminiscence, and the balance of his output gradually shifted from fiction to non-fiction.
