Well, I just read The Portrait of a Lady online, at the Henry James Scholar's Guide to Web Sites site, and their text is the New York edition, revised by Henry James in later style, which has the same ending and last chapter as the Penguin Classics edition. I think most of the changes are good ones, but I have a sneaking preference for the more 'authentic' version.
The Custom of the Country arrives on Tuesday.
Current books: The Bostonians, The Touchstone, Frances Bissell's Real Meat Cookbook, Belt Up by Thelwell, Sparkles by Louise Bagshawe, Candy by Kevin Brooks.
