1st Printing. Signed. 40 pages. Published in 1992. Rare Cynthia Ozick collectible item. One of the finest essays ever written on its great subject. Limited Edition of 1000 numbered and signed copies. The first and only edition. There is no ISBN. The Limited Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Leslie Morris Noyce: Regular-sized volume format. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover, as issued. The book is stapled at the spine. Text by Cynthia Ozick. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in a "stand-alone" collectible edition, Cynthia Ozick's "What Henry James Knew". One of the best pieces on Henry James, a lifelong influence and passion. The title is an allusion to Henry James' great novel, "What Maisie Knew". A cult writer once upon a time, Cynthia Ozick is now firmly established as one of our finest writers. It took a very long time for the reading public as well as the critics to realize her greatness. By her own admission, it was a struggle to achieve the recognition she deserved and the belated fame is more "folly" than anything else, as one of her collections aver. She is writing in three literary traditions simultaneously, all of them at the most profound level imaginable: The ancient Jewish, the modern European, and the Jamesian American. Hence, the dazzling allusiveness, poignant beauty, and sheer intensity of her work. Her prose style - imbricated, brachiate, and filigreed, to borrow three of her own favorite words - is a paradox: The rush of metaphors arrives at and realizes a work of luminous beauty. An absolute "must-have" title for Cynthia Ozick collectors. This copy is one of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such on the Back Limitation Page, and it is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen-marker by Cynthia Ozick. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a late-modern classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Limited Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1996 for "Fame & Folly". Finalist for the National Book Award in 1997 for "The Puttermesser Papers". Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2001 for "Quarrel & Quandary". Recipient of the Lannan Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000. One of the greatest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER CYNTHIA OZICK TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1878603051.
