Abstract

Abstract: This paper, arising from work towards the Complete Fiction of Henry James edition of The Golden Bowl for Cambridge University Press, starts from a consideration of the novel’s reception history, then proceeds to reflect on the models of interpretation the novel might be taken to imply. It tries to draw out the implications of a stimulating remark by James in a 1904 letter to Alice Stopford Green, with reference to The Ambassadors : “[T]he creation, the projection and evocation by hook or by crook, of some human and personal good company , . . . is as kind a turn as one can render.”
