of Henry James and Henrietta Stackpole," will perhaps give this issue special appeal for readers interested in feminist approaches to Henry James. Although special groupings of essays in the Review are rare, I hope to reserve much of one of the remaining two numbers in volume 10 for a selection of papers from the 1987 and 1988 James Society meetings—each of which presented two extraordinary MLA sessions, arranged, respectively, by Adeline Tintner and Mark Seltzer—and from the Dallas Opera/Southern Methodist symposium "From Text to Performance," held in conjunction with the Opera's world premiere of Dominick Argento's opera The Aspern Papers. Also slated for publication in 1989 are essays and reviews by Michael Clark, Judith E. Funston, Edwin Sill Fussell, Marcia Jacobson, John Kimrney and Frederick Nies, Susan Marshall, Catherine Vieilledent, and Rosella Momoli Zorza (the last two contributors from France and Italy, their essays among the first fruits of our program to enlarge the international dimensions of the HJR). Richard Hocks, moreover, has put together a strong team of co-authors with whom he will be preparing our next annual review of James studies. One closing note: as our long-time readers know, for many years the HJR was self-supporting, receiving no cash subvention from LSU or from any other source and operating wholly on subscription income. In the last two years, since the journal has entered into a distribution agreement with the John Hopkins University Press, we have been subject to a new set of publishing economics. We are now running at a deficit, and though Hopkins has built the circulation quite rapidly by about two hundred subscribers, we are almost another two hundred subscribers short of the break-even point. Consequently, anything you can do to recommend the journal to libraries and to interested colleagues will be greatly appreciated. Finally, I call your attention to the following announcement. -DMF Announcement Judith E. Funston is currently compiling Henry James: A Reference Guide, 1975-1987 for G. K. Hall. She would like to hear from anyone whose work on James during those years has not appeared in any of the standard bibliographical listings (MLA International Bibliography, ALS, Humanities Index, etc.); she would, if at all possible, appreciate an offprint. Address her at the Social Science Multidisciplinary Program, Baker Hall, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824-1118. ...
