Abstract

This paper arising from work towards the Complete Fiction of Henry James edition of The Golden Bowl for Cambridge University Press starts from a consideration of the novel's reception history then proceeds to reflect on the models of interpretation the novel might be taken to imply. It tries to draw out the implications of a stimulating remark by James in a 1904 letter to Alice Stopford Green with reference to The Ambassadors : "[T]he creation the projection and evocation by hook or by crook of some human and personal good company... is as kind a turn as one can render."
