    Novick?s Henry James: The Young Master to ?a movie of James?s life, as it unfolds, moment to moment, lending the book a powerful immediacy.? Now, in Henry James: The Mature Master, Novick completes his super, revelatory two-volume account of one of the world?s most gifted and least understood authors, and of a vanished world of aristocrats and commoners. Henry James: The Mature Master features vivid new portraits of James?s famous peers, including Edith Wharton, Oscar Wilde, and Robert Louis Stevenson; Hailed as a genius and a warm and charitable man?and derided by enemies as false, effeminate, and self-infatuated?Henry James emerges here as a major and complex figure, a determined and ambitious artist who was planning a new novel even on his deathbed.
