This volume is a study of the structure of certain of James's works, as well as a search for the structural principles that inform James's fiction and lie behind the technical dicta of his essays and prefaces. It also develops the thesis that most of James's structures are determined by logical and spatial, rather than chronological, concepts of relationships.

Originally published in 1967.
