A genuine 1907 first edition of Henry James’s The American Scene, published by Harper & Brothers.
In this landmark travel narrative, James returns to the United States after decades abroad and delivers one of the sharpest, most influential reflections on early 20th-century America ever written. His observations on immigration, social change, city life, and American identity still resonate today — and scholars continue to cite this work as a turning point in both cultural criticism and James’s career.
This copy features the original blue cloth binding with gilt lettering and classic Harper imprint, retaining its historical charm while remaining strong and fully intact. A beautiful collectible for readers of classic literature and American cultural history.
