About this book

In this compelling collection of essays, Virginia Woolf offers her unique perspective on the life and work of Henry James, one of the greatest novelists in the English language.

First published in 1940, Virginia Woolf on the Ghost Stories of Henry James presents a collection of essays in which one of the twentieth century's most influential writers delves into the life and work of Henry James. Known for his mastery of psychological depth and intricate storytelling, James' work bridges the gap between literary realism and modernism. In this volume, Woolf reflects on James's writing, exploring the haunting atmospheres, complex characters, and the subtle interplay of reality and the supernatural that define his work. Through essays such as 'The Old Order', 'Within the Rim', and 'The Letters of Henry James', Woolf provides a nuanced analysis that reveals the underlying tensions and emotional landscapes of James's fiction.

This collection is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of two literary giants. It offers valuable insights into James's narrative techniques and thematic concerns, all through the lens of Woolf's critical genius.
