"The Wings of the Dove," published in 1902, represents to my memory a very old-if I shouldn't perhaps rather say a very young-motive I can scarce remember the time when the situation on which this long-drawn fiction mainly rests was not vividly present to me. (5) The New York Edition's spaces before "n't" (in contractions pronounced as two syllables) have been removed in this etext. (4) Proofreading errors (?) in the 1909 edition are indicated thus. Then paragraphs will be ended with hard returns and HTML tags, (capital P enclosed in angle-brackets). (3) To avoid the insertion of hard returns at the end of every line (which makes searching across line-breaks in downloaded files difficult), download with the HTML option, not the TXT option. Italics and accent marks have been removed from foreign words. (2) Italics for emphasis indicated by upper case, by lower case for the word _I_.
Notes: (1) Numbers in parentheses indicate the beginning of each page in the New York Edition of 1909. January 24, 2000, at the suggestion of John Lavagnino. Of Gert Buelens of Universiteit Gent ManyĬorrections were made on June 6, 1999. This etext was proofread by Sarah Koch and by students
The idea, reduced to its essence, is that of a young person conscious of a great capacity for life, but early stricken and doomed, condemned to die under short respite, while also enamoured of the world aware moreover of the condemnation and passionately desiring to "put in" before extinction as many of the finer vibrations as possible, and so achieve, however briefly and brokenly, the sense of having lived.Henry James scholar's Guide to Web Sites" Download cover art Download CD case insert The Wings of the Dove
