Collected Stories Volume II takes us from ‘A Private Life’ of 1892 to James’s last story, ‘A Round of Visits’, published in 1910.
These are the magnificent works of James’ maturity – ‘The Death of the Lion’, ‘The Altar of the Dead’, ‘The Great Good Place’, ‘The Turn of the Screw’, ‘In the Cage’, ‘The Beast in the Jungle’ and many others – in which the deepening darkness of the author’s own life casts a tragic but heroic shadow on the themes of his youth.
