{"footnote":"\u003Cp\u003E  Confusion is further compounded by Edel\u0026rsquo;s latest book-making enterprise \u0026ndash; \u003Cem class=\u0022emphasisClass\u0022\u003EHenry James: Selected Letters\u003C\/em\u003E (Harvard, 446 pp., \u0026pound;23.95, 30 November 1987, 0 674 38793 7). A  one-volume melting-down of his already highly selected four-volume edition of the letters, it alone calls itself \u0026lsquo;selected\u0026rsquo;, while printing some two dozen letters for the first time, thus ensuring  that anyone who wants as complete a collection as possible will have to purchase this volume as well as its predecessors. Edel\u0026rsquo;s introduction predictably attributes the inclusion of the new  documents to the \u0026lsquo;freer climate of our time\u0026rsquo; \u0026ndash; a moment of liberation that would appear to have arrived sometime after the decade from 1974 to 1984 in which the original four volumes were  published.\u003C\/p\u003E\n","audio":[],"video":[]}
