Description

"Henry James`s articles about England were written for various periodicals during the period 1870-1890 and published as a collection under the title `English Hours` in 1905 with illustrations by Joseph Pennell. . James's descriptions of the English countryside, monuments, university and cathedral cities are as fresh as if they were written yesterday, but his observations on the manners and customs of the English people recall a world that has completely vanished. This beautifully designed edition has delightful images from the paintings of Constable, Turner, Monet, Pissarro and other contemporary painters as well as drawings of Constable and Pennell " 224p. Plates, illus (some col) A nice giftbook
