Henry James was one of the greatest and most prolific American authors ever to have lived.

Henry James believed that the short novel was the perfect literary form, and his achievements here brilliantly display his mastery of it.

Accompanied by Rahv’s informative commentary and keen insights, this collection contains the following classics:

THE AUTHOR OF BELTRAFFIO
THE ASPERN PAPERS
THE PUPIL
THE TURN OF THE SCREW
THE BEAST IN THE JUNGLE
