Andrew Taylor explores how James's writing responds to James Senior's epistemological, thematic and narrative concerns, and relocates these concerns in a more secularised and cosmopolitan cultural milieu. Taylor examines the nature of both men's engagement with autobiographical strategies, issues of gender reform, and the language of religion. He argues for a reading of Henry James that is informed by an awareness of paternal inheritance. Taylor's study reveals the complex and at times antagonistic dialogue between the elder James and his peers, particularly Emerson and Whitman, in the vanguard of mid nineteenth-century American Romanticism. Through close readings of a wide range of novels and texts, he demonstrates how this dialogue anticipates James's own theories of fiction and selfhood. 410 0$aCambridge studies in American literature and culture ;$v129. 517 3 $aHenry James & the Father Question 606 $aFathers and sons$zUnited States 606 $aFathers and sons in literature 606 $aFather figures in literature 606 $aAutobiography in literature 606 $aPhilosophy in literature 606 $aFathers in literature 606 $aSelf in literature 615 0$aFathers and sons 615 0$aFathers and sons in literature. 615 0$aFather figures in literature. 615 0$aAutobiography in literature. 615 0$aPhilosophy in literature. 615 0$aFathers in literature. 615 0$aSelf in literature. 676 $a813/.4 700 $aTaylor$b Andrew$f1968-$0307947 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456001703321 996 $aHenry James and the father question$92481562 997 $aUNINA
