INTRODUCTION

The method of Henry James has been the subject of a vast
number of critical articles and books. Much of that work has been
excellent and needs not be done again. Joseph warren Beach's The

Method of Henry James (1918) is a careful search of method under the

 

headings of Ideas, Picture, Revelation, Suspense, Point of View,
Dialogue, Drama, Eliminations, Tone, Romance, and Ethics. And Cornelia

Pulsifer Kelley has done a careful study of The Early Development of

 

Henry James (1930), pointing to the idea of tone of his work, especially
in connection with picture.1

Kelley points out that one of Henry James' concerns in The
Art of Fiction is "economy of picture;"2 and, Kelley explains the
manner in which James is able to achieve this end by stating that "there
is description on every page, achieved by a short remark, a phrase, or
even one word as it accompanies dialogue or is worked into incident."3
Among the short remarks, phrases, and words used by James are numerous
foreign words and phrases whose meanings will allow for more comprehensive
studies of James' techniques of description. Before any such study can
be conducted, some basic tools of research have to be gathered. This

2Kelley, The Early Development of Henry James, pages 297-298

3Ibid., page 299.

concordance, therefore, is a compilation of foreign words and phrases
used by James.4

This dissertation is not an attempt at discussing the function
of the foreign words and phrases used by James since I have concerned
myself with the gathering of words and phrases and not with the analysis
of their uses relative to their descriptive function. This concordance
may someday facilitate studies of that type. Of course, I am aware that
the use of foreign terms was fashionable during the period in which James
' wrote; however, this concordance is in no way a commentary of fashionable
writing. That is yet another study. In essence, this concordance is meant
to be used by readers and students of James. Therefore, its functions
range from aiding readers who wish to know the meanings of phrases and
words in James to providing raw data for intensive scholarly research.

All the foreign words and phrases in this concordance were
gathered from the New York Edition of Henry James. After they were
alphabetized, translations which provide a clear meaning of the words
and phrases were found by both secondary and primary research. Generally,
three secondary source areas were explored. One, English-foreign
dictionaries provided the bulk of one—word and standard translation.

Such sources as the Cassell's French-English, Italian-English, and

German-English and Whites' Latin dictionaries provide exact meanings for

 

The meaning of "phrase" here is the same as that used in Kevin Guinagh's
Dictionary of Foreign Phrases and Abbreviations, page 5:

"The word phrase as used in the title is to be understood
in the recognized and not uncommon meaning of a pithy,
quotable expression, such as a proverb, motto, or maxim.
It is not necessarily to be taken in its narrow grammati-
cal use, as, for instance, a preposition followed by an
object, though there are many items that could be classi-
fied that way."

vi

these entries. Two, specialized "foreign phrases" dictionaries provide
translations for foreign expressions and popular proverbs. Kevin

Guinagh's Dictionary of Foreign Phrases and Abbreviations, A. J. Bliss'

 

A Dictionary of Foreign Words and Phrases in Current English, and

 

Maxim Newmark's Dictionary of Foreign Words and Phrases were especially

 

helpful.‘ Three, for the colloquial, slang, and argots, even more
specialized secondary sources were consulted. Some are Margaret Crisp's

Idiomatic Expressions in Italian, Gaston Esnault's Dictionnarie des

 

 

Argots, Frederic Cheydleur's French Idiom List, and Joseph Mark's The

 

New French-English Dictionary of Slanggand Colloquialisms.

 

In addition to consulting secondary sources, I found it
necessary to do some primary research for two major reasons. One,
somewhere between James' writings and the final publication occasionally
some foreign words were misspelled or inadequately transcribed. In such
cases, I selected what seemed to be the most accurate spelling, relative
to the context in which the foreign words appeared. In most cases, the
misspellings consisted of consonant omissions or vowel transposition.
The second reason for using available primary sources is that the
secondary sources consulted did not contain certain words and phrases
used by James. Here, I am indebted to the teachers of foreign languages
and native foreign speakers who provided either complete or partial
translations. Of the 1559 concordance entries, in six languages, all
are translated at this writing.

The entries of this concordance consist of the foreign word
or phrase, the translation of the word or phrase, and the location of
the word or phrase in the New York Edition. In order to indicate where

the word or phrase appears in the New York Edition, a code consisting

vii

of an abbreviation for the work, the page on which the word appears, the
volume number (if the novel consists of more than one volume), and the
number of times the word or phrase appears on a particular page. Below
are some sample entries, followed by an explanation of how the code is

used.

lm

faire pleurer., exaggerated sorrow, so much
there's no hope. (A 82)

 

l'entresol., on the mezzanine (low rooms
between the gound floor and the first
floor). (TM 58 I)

lm

 

banal., banal; commonplace, trite, petty.
(PC 297 1-2)

The (A 82) after the translation of a_faire pleurer indicates

 

that this foreign phrase appears in The American on page 82 of the New

 

York Edition of Henry James. The (TM 58 I) after the translation of

a l'entresol indicates that this foreign phrase is found on page 58 of

 

The Tragic Muse, Volume I, in the New York Edition. The (PC 297 1-2)

 

after the translation of banal indicates that the word appears on page

297 in Volume I of The Princess Casamassima. The last numeral, "2",

 

indicates that it appears twice on that page. The complete list of
abbreviations for the novels and short stories in the New York Edition

appears below.
