To commemorate the recent centennial of Henry James's death and to help readers understand the depth and scope of the author's influence both today and during the previous century, thirty leading Jamesian scholars from twelve different countries and five continents were asked to explore ways in which the notions of 'heritage' and 'transmission' currently come into play when reading James. The resulting chapters of this volume are divided into three main sections, each focusing on different ways in which James's legacy is being re-evaluated today--from his influence on key authors, playwrights.
