Description

Reading Henry James, looks to allusions, sources, echoes and affinities in the author's vast body of work as critical ways to discover and interpret his artistic purposes and literary intentions. It ranges over the vast corpus of his fiction, including stories, novelas and novels published in the leading journals of the day on both sides of the Atlantic. The considerations in individual chapters range from close analysis of Daisy Miller, The American, The Beast in the Jungle and The Wings of the Dove to James's creative fascinaton with the very successful literary career as well as the everyday life of the social animal who was the poet Robert Browning to James's complex but productive relationship with his cambridge friends Marian ""Clover"" Adams and her husband, the historian and autobiographer Henry Adams.
