The great bulk of Jamesian criticism deals with the international novels, particularly his late works.This study places James?s career in a new perspective by discussing its American aspect. It gives the critic an opportunity to come to grips with the evolution of James?s technique from his second short story to his penultimate, unfinished novel, The Ivory Tower. 606 $aNational characteristics, American, in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational characteristics, American, in literature. 676 $a813/.4 700 $aBuitenhuis$b Peter$0168994 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460955403321 996 $aThe grasping imagination$92125319 997 $aUNINA
