James is a recipient of the Order of Merit and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. Though born in New York, his family moved frequently throughout Europe as his father Henry James Sr. pursued a publishing career. He begins with their stay in the French-Swiss border, where his parents had moved for his and his sibling's schooling. James observes that, "I puzzle it out to-day that my parents had simply said to themselves, in serious concern, that I read too many novels, or at least read them too attentively..."

The following pages represent all that Henry James lived to write of a volume of autobiographical reminiscences to which he had given the name of one of his own short stories, The Middle Years. It was designed to follow on Notes of a Son and Brother and to extend to about the same length. The chapters here printed were dictated during the autumn of 1914. They were laid aside for other work toward the end of the year and were not revised by the author. A few quite evident slips have been corrected and the marking of the paragraphs—which he usually deferred till the final revision—has been completed.
