The Europeans. A Sketch

Boston, Houghton, Osgood, 1879. First Printing. Hardcover. First American Edition, published less than one month after the London edition, one of only 1500 copies. 8vo: [2],281,[1]pp. Publisher's dark green finely woven dotted-line-grain cloth (Kelly green and terra-cotta were also used, no priority known) over beveled boards, spine stamped in gilt, covers framed in blind, chocolate-brown coated end papers. An exceptionally Fine example, square, tight, and probably unread. BAL10537. Edel & Laurence A7b. Supino 7.6.0. The Europeans first appeared as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly for July-October 1878, after which James made numerous minor revisions for the first book publication. "The Europeans is the last work of Henry James's early period. [showcasing] the cultural differences and engagements between the Old World, as it was fading into eventual democracies, and the New World, as it was poised to take a prime spot on the world stage. The Europeans received (and still receives) mixed reviews as to its quality compared to the rest of James's works. He himself called it "shallow," in response to his brother, William's, judgment. Yet many critics and readers view it as the finest of his works, showing the interweaving of cultural themes" that predominate his later writings. (enotes) N. B.

JAMES, HENRY (1843-1916)

In the Cage

Chicago & New York, Herbert S. Stone, 1898. First Edition. Decorative Cloth. First Printing of this novella centering on an unnamed London telegraphist, who deciphers clues to her clients's personal lives from the often cryptic telegrams they submit to her as she sits in the "cage" at the post office. Crown 8vo: [4],229,[3]pp. Publisher's dark olive-green linen-grain cloth, covers identically paneled in blind with lettering and florets in gilt; spine ruled, lettered, and ornamented in gilt; top edge gilt, others untrimmed; title page in black and orange. Book plates of essayist Robert Palfrey Utter to front paste-down and verso of front fly-leaf. (After varied experiences, including editorial work on the Youth's Companion, reporting for the New York Evening Post, ranching in Mexico, and graduate study at Harvard, Utter became, in 1906, associate professor of English at Amherst, then, beginning in 1920, held the same position at the University of California.) An excellent copy, about Fine, with very slight spine lean. BAL 10630. Edel A51b. Kramer 159. Supino 51.1.0. Bibliographers disagree as to priority of the American and English editions (see Kramer, p. 281). The telegraph girl's "powers of observation and communication appear to open up possibilities of love and escape from the cage of her working routine. But much of what she sees and hopes for turns out on trial to be nothing at all. Like many of James's mature works, therefore, In the Cage is not so much about what happens as about how it is perceived and felt by his characters. This novella deliberately draws attention to the way in which language, especially the mechanised and commodified language of the telegraph, can distort and disrupt the human attempt to communicate."
