Summary |
"The Cambridge Companion to Henry James is intended to provide a critical introduction to James's work. Throughout the major critical shifts of the last fifty years - and despite suspicions of the traditional high literary culture that was James's milieu - as a writer he has retained a powerful hold on readers and critics alike. All essays are newly commissioned for this volume, written at a level free from technical jargon, and designed to promote accessibility to the study of James and his work."--Jacket. |
