The plight of bewildered Americans adrift on a sea of European sophistication became a regular theme in his fiction. This collection of twenty-four papers from some of the worlds leading James scholars offers a comprehensive picture of the authors cross-cultural aesthetics. It provides detailed analyses of James's perception of Europe -- of its people and places, its history and culture, its artists and thinkers, its aesthetics and its ethics -- which ultimately lead to a profound re-evaluation of his writing"--Publisher's description.Biography: literarybicsscLiterary studies: generalbicsscEuropeIn literatureCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastportrait of a ladyeuropean reception of henry jameseuropean society of jamesian studiesthe americanhenry jamesamericans in europeenglish literaturenovelauthorshipthe ambassadorswhat maisie knewamerican literatureFranceHonoré de BalzacParisBiography: literaryLiterary studies: general813.4Tredy Dennisedt801192Tredy Dennis801192Duperray Annick801191Harding Adrian801190Open Book Publishers,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910131764103321Henry James's Europe2133589UNINA
