Twenty leading Jamesians, in chapters written especially for this reference volume, canvas all areas of Henry James studies, including James's own criticism and critical theory, his novels, tales, plays, travel writings, notebooks, letters, and autobiographies, and his critical reception. Also featured are two appendixes comprising annotated chronologies, one of James's principal publications in book form, the other of landmarks of James criticism and scholarship. The first section, on criticism and theory, opens with a concise overview of criticism on Henry James. The central section of the volume is devoted to James's fiction, from the early years, middle years, the experimental period, and the later fiction, including the short stories. Additional writings focus on special topics, including comparison of James with his European peers, a study of James from a feminist view, an assessment of James's use of the visual arts, and an analysis of James's many revisions of his own works. A section on James's nonfiction includes his epistolary art, his travel book English Hours, his drama, and the social commentary in James's account of his return to America from an expatriate life abroad in The American Scene. The scholars draw upon nearly seven hundred books and articles, which are compiled in a list of works cited. Itself a companion to Robert Gale's A Henry James Encyclopedia (Greenwood Press, 1989), A Companion to Henry James Studies is a carefully structured survey of scholarship, designed as a library reference volume that will be of interest and value to students and scholars of Henry James and specialists in American literature generally.

Fogel raises questions about the nature of literary influence and the role and the role of gender in the responses of authors to tradition and authority. Drawing on Harold Bloom's theory of "the anxiety of influence" and recent critiques of Bloom by feminist critics, he suggests that Bloom's theory is less apt for some authors than for others-less apt for the Joyce-James relation, typified by Joyce's aggressive, playful,virtuoso mockery, satire, and parody than for the Woolf-James relation, in which Henry James may be read as a leading symptom of the patriarchy by which Woolf knew herself to be both oppressed and obsessed. Demonstrating that in their strikingly different ways James Joyce and Virginia Woolf recognized the extent to which Henry James was an indispensable forerunner, Fogel shows that there was something of a mythic, tribal element in their veneration and destruction of James as master.

Fogel, Daniel Mark was born on January 21, 1948 in Columbus, Ohio, United States. Son of Ephim and Charlotte Edith (Finkelstein) Fogel.
A native of Columbus, Ohio, he was raised in Ithaca, New York, graduated from Ithaca High School in 1965 and received a Bachelor"s degree in English from Cornell University in 1969, as well as an Master of Fine Arts in creative writing and a Doctor of Philosophy in English.
He is a poet, a scholar of English and American literature, and founded the Henry James Review and the Henry James Society. Fogel is married to Rachel Kahn, a painter, and they have two children. In an editorial published in the January 1 edition of the newspaper, the Burlington Free Press named University of Vermont President Daniel Mark Fogel the 2007 Vermonter of the Year.
During his tenure as University of Vermont president, Fogel was in part responsible for numerous salary and bonus pay increases for administrative positions, while meanwhile citing economic difficulties as reason for eliminating some faculty and other teaching positions at the University.
Overall, UVM"s faculty grew both in size and wealth under Fogel"s presidency. The size of UVM"s full-time instructional faculty grew by eight percent during Fogel"s tenure.
Full-time student enrollment grew by forty-two percent during the same period. University of Vermont faculty saw their salaries increase by approximately five percent per year throughout Fogel"s administration due to collective bargaining agreements with United Academics.
This included a 16 percent raise over three years beginning in 2003, five percent per year raises between 2006 and 2008, and five percent raises each year between 2008 and 2011.
Fogel presided over record fundraising success for the University, the establishment of an honors college, record high SAT scores for entering freshmen, and soaring graduation rates. Fogel"s tenure was also marked by dramatic increases in enrollment of minority students. During his tenure, students of color more than doubled, making up 10 percent of the student body by the time of his departure from the presidency.
On March 23, 2011, Fogel announced that he would resign as president of the University of Vermont on July 1, 2012 - exactly ten years after he took office, but in fact resigned on July 31, 2011.
Ex-Vice President John Bramley was appointed as the Interim President of UVM starting on August 1, 2011. Fogel continued to draw his $410,000 annual salary for 17 months subsequent to his resignation, at which time he became a professor in the university"s English Department.
The compensation package drew criticism from some Vermonters. Vermont governor Peter Shumlin described it as "exorbitant".
In 2012, Fogel published a new book, Precipice or Crossroads, along with co-editor Elizabeth Malson-Huddle, about the history of America"s public universities, the challenges they face today, and how these institutions must evolve to remain relevant and vital.
