In The Year of Henry James, Lodge ponders the mystery of so many novels about James appearing at the same time; he explores his own creative practice and candidly reveals his reaction to finding years of work overshadowed by that of another author. In complementary essays he examines the genesis, writing and recption of works by other novelists, from George Eliot and H.G. Wells to Graham Greene and Umberto Eco. -Book Jacket.
