Description
Explore the complex literary theories of one of history's most significant authors with Henry James: A Certain Illusion (Early Modern Englishwoman). Published by Routledge, this scholarly work examines how the concept of illusion functions within the practice of literary representation. By analyzing James' fictional and critical texts, this book investigates how his writing creates a sense of lived experience and expanded perspective for the reader. The text links James' specific mode of illusion to broader concerns found in novel criticism, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers of literary studies. This edition provides deep readings of James' work, focusing on the theory that a successful work of art produces a certain illusion that makes a reader feel as though they have lived another life.
