- Summary
- "Henry James: A Very Short Introduction places Henry James's notoriously difficult writings in their historical and biographical context. Henry James had a major impact on the literary culture of his time and ever since. From his childhood through his mature life, James created a unique body of fiction, travel writing, reviews, and theory that represents one of the greatest achievements in America's literary history. This VSI studies various fictional and non-fictional works by James. These complex accounts of human experience engage with the vital issues of both James's era and our own, including gender relations, sexuality, the nature of modernity, the threat of relativism, and the role of art"--
