Book Description

Publication Date: February 22, 2000 | Series: Critical Issues S.

This study of Henry James draws on novels and short stories from throughout his career. Jeremy Tambling discusses James's importance as a theorist of the novel and argues for his importance as an American. He sees all James's work as a complex engagement with America and an attempt to find something in textual form that has been missed in the actual experience of America, in comparison with what he has imagined he has found in Europe. Tambling makes use of 1990s critical theory, but his aim is to elucidate what it was that drove this writer to more and more difficult writing.
