| In 1898, Henry James wrote a novella that would become one of the most famous and critically discussed ghost stories ever written, The Turn of the Screw. Three other examples of Jamesâ s tales of the supernatural, â The Altar of the Dead,â â The Beast in the Jungle,â and â The Jolly Corner,â are included in this edition. These texts reveal on both the thematic and narrative levels Jamesâ s deepest concerns as a writer. The texts in this edition are all drawn from the New York Edition of Jamesâ s works. The introduction traces the extensive critical debate around The Turn of the Screw, and situates the texts in contemporary discussions of the supernatural. Appendices include material on the talesâ reception, Jamesâ s writings on the supernatural, and the study of the supernatural in the nineteenth century. |
