?A narrative history of James criticism by Richard Hocks and
annotated chronologies of James's works and of the major critical
studies from 1905 to 1991 enhance the value of this unique book, a
landmark of James criticism and scholarship, which students and
teachers will find as valuable as any single volume on James's
work.?-Choice
?Covering all aspects of James studies, the 20 original essays in
this companion are divided into sections on "Criticism and Theory,"
"Fiction," and "Nonfiction." The essays provide excellent critical
and bibliographic overviews of the current state of James studies
in such areas as James's theory of fiction, his tales, and his
"inveterate habit of revising his fiction." The essays are by
established scholars, most of whom have published extensively on
James and/or his time. Even the appendixes are interesting with the
first a "lightly annotated" chronological listing of James's books,
including citations to the magazines in which many of these books
first appeared serially. The second appendix lists "landmarks" of
James criticism in chronological order. This is a fine resource for
scholars and advanced students, though its state-of-the-art purpose
will make an update imperative in a decade or so.?-Library
