Eric Haralson examines the far-reaching changes in gender politics and the emergence of modern male homosexuality in writings of Henry James and three authors greatly influenced by him: Willa Cather, Gertrude Stein, and Ernest Hemingway. Emphasizing American masculinity portrayed in fiction between 1875 and 1935, Haralson traces James' engagement with sexual politics from his first novels of the 1870s to his "major phase" at the turn of the century.

Review
'... there are scintillating readings in Henry James and Queer Modernity, not least of Roderick Hudson, The Tragic Muse and The Ambassadors. These are combined with shrewd insights, considerable erudition and writing of rare panache.' Times Higher Education Supplement
'Brilliantly reasoned, witty and erudite study ...' The Henry James Review
'Henry James and Queer Modernity is inspired and essential for the way it makes James's sexuality not only a positive part of his signature aesthetic but a source of trenchant cultural critique beyond what we normally expect from him ... offers up an important theory of the relations among art, sex and politics.' Modernism/Modernity
