Michael Anesko explores Henry James's efforts to correct 'mistakes' that he later perceived in his books as first printed. He focuses on two of Henry James's most important texts, The Portrait of a Lady (1881) and The Ambassadors (1903), and the ways in which both betray (in very peculiar ways) the fallibility of James himself.
