Publisher's Synopsis
Henry James' novels are of a sub-genre that today critics call "psychological realism." He also gained enormous recognition as a literary critic and theorist of the novel. Besides his fiction works, he wrote volumes of non-fiction prose, including travel books -such as A Little Tour in France-, autobiography, books of criticism, letters, and literary notebooks. A Little Tour in France is -as Henry James himself said it- ..".goes forth finally as the picture-book it was designed to be. Text and illustrations are, altogether and alike, things of the play of eye and hand and fancy - views, head-pieces, tail-pieces; through the artist's work, doubtless, in a much higher degree than the author's.
