The Uncollected Henry James: Newly Discovered Stories
Contemporary Review, Feb, 2005
The Uncollected Henry James: Newly Discovered Stories. Floyd R. Horowitz, editor. Duckworth. xv + 319 pages. ISBN 0-7156-3332-5. The editor is currently completing a study of James's uncollected works and in this volume he gives readers the fruits of some thirty years of searching. By using a set of 'discriminators' he has identified stories he was sure were by James, compared them to various criteria and then subjected them to computer analysis.
He concludes there are 72 stories published either under a nom de plume or anonymously and twelve which are 'probably' from James's pen. The first appeared in 1852 when James was ten and the last, in 1870. Prof. Horowitz selected twenty-five stories, starting with the first ('The Pair of Slippers') and ending with 'A Hasty Marriage' in 1869. They are 'samples' of James' 'Swedenborgian ideas related to stages of maturing in a spiritually framed person' and are concerned with social and religious issues, reflecting his father's and his own concerns.
