The text reprinted in this volume is based on an examination of the five printed versions of The American (first published in 1877) which appeared in James's lifetime, and it is preceded by his "Preface to the New York Edition" (1907). The textual history of the novel is traced in A Note on the Text; a list of substantive variants and emendations; a facsimile manuscript page showing James's method of revision; and a list of the installments of the novel as they appeared in The Atlantic .
"Backgrounds and Sources" includes relevant extracts from correspondence, reviews, and articles by James and others, and from his Notebooks and Hawthorne.
"Contemporary Reception" of the novel is illustrated by twenty-one American and English reviews.
"Twentieth-Century Criticism" is represented in essays by Leon Edel, Oscar Cargill, Irving Howe, Richard Poirier, Royal A. Gettmann, and James W. Tuttleton.
A Selected Bibliography is included for further study. .

评分只读了正文。想不出除了抽身之外Newman还有什么别的可能deal with loss，也想不出如果对这个人物不作类型化处理而是进行心理挖掘，该期待他有什么样的成长(毛老师在《异乡人亨利•詹姆斯》中写道：“ 就个体而言，能够探索、把握和不断修正对外部世界和社会关系的认知，是一切伦理生活的基础”)，大概基于文本对他的了解太少了，跟Isabel Archer对比以后可能会清晰一些。原是特别不喜欢sensational novel的，大概由于Newman本能的反应是自然的，情节转向之后戏剧张力十足的一些片段倒没有那么让人反感。不过，文明对立/冲突就这么弃了么？
