The text reprinted in this volume is based upon an examination of the five printed versions of The American (first published in 1877) which appeared in James\'s lifetime, and it is preceded by his Preface to the New York Edition (1907). The textual history of the novel is traced in a note on the text; a list of substantive variants and emendations; a facsimile manuscript page showing James\'s method of revision; and a list of the installments of the novel as they appeared in The Atlantic.
Background and source materials include relevant extractsfrom correspondence, reviews, and articles by James and others,and from his Notebooks and Hawthorne. The contemporary criti-cal reception of the novel is illustrated by twenty-one American and English reviews. Twentieth-century criticism is representedby Leon Edel, Oscar Cargill, Irving Howe, Richard Poirier,Royal A. Gettmann, and James W. Tuttleton. A selected bibliog-raphy is included for further study.THE EI)ITOR: JAMES W.
