It adopts a modern critical approach, yet is written for the intelligent reader whose interest in James is not necessarily academic.

Book Synopsis Henry James and the "aliens" by : Gert Buelens
Download or read book Henry James and the "aliens" written by Gert Buelens and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2002 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry James and the "Aliens" intervenes substantially in current debates in James studies, most notably in the key areas of cultural studies, ethnic studies and queer studies. Focusing throughout on questions of identity, and most prominently on how the latter is given shape in the very form of the late style, the book finds that James's response to the ethnic other can be grasped neither as an attempt to police, supervise and master the other, nor as a politics of non-identical surrender to that other. Instead, there is a continuum of identity--akin to the "criminal continuity" that James registers throughout the American scene--in which self and other, native and alien, subject and object adopt alternate roles of control and submission. Both are at times in possession of the American scene and possessed by that scene. Jamesian sexual identity, too, proves to be constantly reconstituted in transitive processes of signification that make it impossible to fix the "I" or the "other" within a fixed framework--be that framework a heterosexual or a homosexual one. The eroticism that strikingly informs the late James can therefore only be captured, if at all, under the rubric of the "queer."

Book Synopsis Telling in Henry James by : Lynda Zwinger
Download or read book Telling in Henry James written by Lynda Zwinger and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telling in Henry James argues that James's contribution to narrative and narrative theories is a lifelong exploration of how to "tell," but not, as Douglas has it in "The Turn of the Screw" in any "literal, vulgar way." James's fiction offers multiple, and often contradictory, reading (in)directions. Zwinger's overarching contention is that the telling detail is that which cannot be accounted for with any single critical or theoretical lens-that reading James is in some real sense a reading of the disquietingly inassimilable "fictional machinery." The analyses offered by each of the six chapters are grounded in close reading and focused on oddments-textual equivalents to the “particles” James describes as caught in a silken spider web, in a famous analogy used in “The Art of Fiction” to describe the kind of “consciousness” James wants his fiction to present to the reader. Telling in Henry James attends to the sheer fun of James's wit and verbal dexterity, to the cognitive tune-up offered by the complexities and nuances of his precise and rhythmic syntax, and to the complex and contradictory contrapuntal impact of the language on the page, tongue, and ear.
