The Cambridge Companion to Henry James provides a critical introduction to James's work. Throughout the major critical shifts of the last fifty years, and despite suspicions of the traditional high literary culture which was James's milieu, he has retained a powerful hold on readers and critics alike. All essays are written at a level free from technical jargon, designed to promote accessibility to the study of James and his work.
Read more- Much needed accompaniment to a widely studied but challenging writer
- All essays newly commissioned for this Companion and are free from technical jargon
- Includes all the latest in recent scholarship at a critical point in James' criticism (cf Hugh Stevens chapter on 'Queer Henry in the cage')
- Sets James' achievement in a generic, historical, theoretical and formal context
- James is currently in vogue following the filmisations of Portrait Of A Lady starring John Malkovich and Nicole Kidman; Washington Square with Albert Finney and Maggie Smith; and The Wings of a Dove with Helena Bonham-Carter and Linus Roach
