Description

Explore Henry James's revolutionary concept of illusion in literature through this scholarly examination from Routledge's Early Modern Englishwoman series. This used book in good condition offers critical readings of James's fictional and critical texts, grounded in his theory that artistic success depends on creating an illusion of lived experience - a miraculous enlargement of the reader's consciousness. The study connects James's sophisticated approach to literary representation with enduring concerns in novel criticism, providing valuable insights for scholars and students of literary studies. Whether you're researching nineteenth-century fiction, narrative technique, or the evolution of the novel form, this volume illuminates how James's distinctive method of illusion shaped modern literature and continues to influence contemporary literary analysis.
