Editorial Reviews

"Mr. Edel has done a magnificent editorial work. Why should the word 'painstaking' carry implications of dullness? Here every pain has been taken and every pain has its reward. Each play has a separate factual preface of extreme readability; particularly fascinating is the long preface to Guy Domville which traces the disastrous first night almost hour by hour."—Graham Greene

"Edel gives a swift and fascinating account of what was probably James's most hideous hour, the first night of his play Guy Domville."—James Thurber, The New Yorker

"A new edition of a triumphant work of investigatory scholarship....Edel's thick book still seems as fundamental and irreplaceable as a primary source."—English Literature in Transition

"Jamesian aficionados will be delighted by the republication of Leon Edel's edition of The Complete Plays."—American Literary Scholarship

"In typical Edel fashion, this is the definitive work on Henry James as playwright."—Stanley Weintraub, Pennsylvania State University
