Bosanquet was Henry James's secretary from 1907 until his death in 1916. “In February of 1924, Virginia wrote directly to Bosanquet about an article of 10,000 words on James for which the Press would pay her twenty-five percent of the profits: ‘I think it should make a most interesting litle book’” (Rhein).
The only title in the Hogarth Essay Series to be hand printed by the Woolfs.
