摘要(Abstract)：

亨利·詹姆斯不仅是一位多产的小说家,而且还是一位多产的书信作家。支配他生活的是文学,写信是他人生的奋斗。詹姆斯的社会经历、情感生活、艺术创作无不浸润在他浩瀚的书信之中,书信构成了这位文学大师真实的和最好的传记。詹姆斯书信的编辑出版经历了从汇编、选集到全集的历史嬗变过程。本文尝试在詹姆斯书信研究中把詹姆斯形象的建构与詹姆斯作品批评的发展结合起来,沿着詹姆斯书信编辑出版跨越时空的演变轨迹,通过对詹姆斯书信三个重要版本的对比分析,深入研究和发掘其背后潜在的文化成因,从而确认詹姆斯的私人书信在流行文化和文学发展中的历史定位,力图为我国詹姆斯研究,尤其是当今詹姆斯书信写作的学术研究,提供有益的参考。
Henry James was not only a prolific novelist but also a prolific letter writer. What dominated James' s life was literature. His correspondence recorded the struggle of his life. James' s social experience, emotional life and artistic creation are all immersed in his numerous letters, which will constitute the real and best biography of the great literary master. The editing and publishing of Henry James' s letters has undergone a historical evolution in different editions. In the study of Henry James' s letters, this paper attempts to combine the construction of James' s image with the criticism of James' s works, by following the evolving track of James' s letter editing and publishing across time and space. Through the comparison and analysis of "Lubbock's Edition," "Edel's Edition" and "Nebraska Edition," it tries to explore the underlying cultural causes behind them, so as to identify the historical position of James' s personal letters in the development of popular culture and modern literature, and provide a useful reference for the academic study of Henry James, especially for the study of Henry James' s letter writing in China today.

• (2)詹姆斯生前与戈塞有数十年的交往，其间写给戈塞四百多封书信，论及从日常平庸到文艺精湛的各种话题，同样以他小说中特有的细心和优雅来对待整个内容，足见两人之间的深厚友情（Pooler 76-86）。
• (3) 埃德尔对詹姆斯家族选择卢伯克编辑詹姆斯书信做过详细解释（Henry James: Letters 1: xii–xxiv）。
• (1) 密文（cipher-text）和明文（clear-text 或 plain text）是密码学术语。明文，是指没有加密的文字或者字符串，一般人都能看懂。密文，是指经过某个加密算法，把明文变成另一些文字。
• (1) 在撰写《一个小男孩和其他人》这本书时，詹姆斯首次采用哥哥威廉（William James）写的书信，一些信件是由嫂子艾丽丝（Alice James）转交给他的，他对信的内容随意更改，为己所用。此消息一经传出，便招致侄子哈里（Harry James）的严词抗议。书信的使用和出版有关整个家族的隐私和利益，往往会引发家人之间的矛盾和争端（Anesko, “Monopolizing” 205–34）。
