His Americanness has been questioned by nativists and defended by Brahmins. An acknowledged master in his final years, James' narrow readership has dwindled in the century since his death. This book examines allusions, sources and affinities in James' vast body of work to interpret his literary intentions. Chapters provide close analysis of Daisy Miller, The American, The Beast in the Jungle and The Wings of the Dove."-- |cProvided by publisher 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 "The manuscript" -- "The Californian" -- "Madame Merle" -- "Fathers and sons" -- "Lessons of Browning" -- "The destructive self" -- "Portraits of friends" -- "Artifice in "The real thing"" -- "The pupil" rejected" -- "New Christians and "The liar"" -- "The Poynton marbles" -- "The Caretaker" -- "Figure in the carpet" -- "Identity theft" -- "Great white hunter" -- "The example of late James" -- "Quest for truth" -- "The spirited daisy" -- "The wings of doves" -- "Innocence or experience" -- "Fathers and daughters" -- "The double bind" -- Chapter notes. 600 10 James, Henry, |d1843-1916 |xCriticism and interpretation. |=^A21008 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 600 17 James, Henry, |d1843-1916. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00028686 |?UNAUTHORIZED 949 |i30372016622471 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s35.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 4511207
