Books in the The Cambridge Edition of the Complete Fiction of Henry James series

Henry James considered his late novel The Ambassadors (1903) 'quite the best, 'all round'' of all his works. This volume based on the first book edition provides extensive annotations, a detailed textual history of the work and a full introduction exploring the novel's literary, cultural and historical contexts.

The first critical edition of Henry James's The Sacred Fount, featuring a full critical apparatus including introduction, notes, glossary, textual variants and bibliography. The volume will be of interest to researchers, scholars and students of Henry James, and of nineteenth- and twentieth-century British and American fiction and literature.

The novel is essential reading for scholars, critics and general readers interested in the political and social crisis of late-Victorian Britain, the means by which writers of the time represented it, and the ways in which subsequent readers have interpreted it in relation to their own times.
