As detailed in the bibliography, Crapy Cornelia was first published in a periodical and was subsequently included in James’s final volume of tales. As publication of the New York edition had been completed in the previous year, the tale did not undergo, as so many others did, a revision subsequent to these initial appearances. Full details of all later collections which reprint this tale can be found on the relevant page of my index to Henry James’s tales in collections.
The e-text on this web-site is taken from the first UK book edition (in The finer grain, 1910), subject to changes required by the editor’s standard editorial method. Apart from these, no corrections or alterations have been found necessary, as no typographical errors have been observed in the source.
Because of the production method the text has been proof-read twice, but only by this editor, so it is possible that an error has slipped through twice – offers of proofing assistance will be gratefully received.
