The Figure in the Carpet and Other Stories

by Henry James

By the 1890s, Henry James was feeling depressed by his lack of a sizeable, responsive audience in what he called 'an age of trash triumphant'.

 

These stories, several of them elaborate Jamesian games, are all concerned with the art of fiction and the position of the artist in society.
