'This selection forms a biography of sorts. Submerged beneath the surface of his melodramas are the unspoken fears that Henry hoped, by living in Europe, to leave behind' Frances Wilson, from her preface to Madame de Mauves & Other TalesThe stories in this selection are James's earliest tales, including 'A Tragedy of Error', which was published when he was just twenty-one. With the exception of 'Madame de Mauves', which is 31,000 words, all the tales here are short and what James himself would have described as 'anecdotes.' In these stories James explores notions of freedom, sexuality, a fear of marriage and derailment in love, as well as other concerns of a young man with the mind of a wordly observer. Frances Wilson has selected these thirteen stories and provided an original introduction to James's work.

'James's tales can be traps and ruses; they can also be complex self-descriptions in which his own fears and desires have full reign'Frances Wilson, from her Preface to The Beast in the Jungle & Other TalesThis collection is made up of the later works in Henry James's repertoire, into which he threw the full weight of his creative fears - notably those concerned with the life he missed out on while distilling his experiences into literature. The stories explore the stairwells of the mind, where consciousness is figured as a place, where one could, terrifyingly, encounter one's alter ego. Tales such as 'The Beast in the Jungle' and 'The Jolly Corner' in this collection are such horror stories of the self. James' obsession with confrontation and escape is evident throughout this volume, often with marriage as the central tenet, as in 'The Bench of Desolation'. They are not without comedy, however, as with the wild goose chase which makes up the central narrative in 'The Figure in the Carpet'. Frances Wilson has selected these eleven stories and provided an original introduction to James's work.

'Both the fictional and autobiographical versions of 'The Middle Years' are concerned with authors, acolytes, and endings rather than the middle of things. Or rather they are about, as are all the tales of James's middle years, the recognition of one's own extreme brevity' Frances Wilson, from her preface to The Middle Years & Other TalesThe stories in this collection represent Henry James's middle years, a time in his life which he described as 'misanthropic, melancholy, morbid, morose', after the reception to his earlier works. The collection includes 'The Author of Beltraffio', which tells of the tragic consequences of family conflict; 'The Middle Years' which explores creative self-reflection and mortality; and 'The Altar of the Dead', a poetic elegy to lost places and friends. The stories have been selected not only for their subject but also for their size, the vast majority of them falling under 15 000 words. In other words, this collection's examination of the brevity of one's existence is echoed by the length of the stories themselves. Frances Wilson has selected these twelve stories and provided an original introduction to James's work.
