Description

This monograph provides a comprehensive re-evaluation of Henry James' final decade of creative output, examining how the author constructed and presented the self across multiple genres and works. The study focuses on The American Scene, his autobiographical writings, selected short stories, and two incomplete novels, revealing contrasting notations of identity and self-representation. Readers interested in late Henry James, American literary modernism, and biographical criticism will find detailed analysis of how James grappled with questions of authorship, nationality, and personal identity during this prolific final period. The book bridges textual analysis with biographical interpretation, offering fresh perspectives on these lesser-studied works and their significance within James' broader literary legacy.

Key Features

Examines The American Scene narrative alongside Henry James' autobiographical writing to illuminate his evolving sense of self and artistic identity.

Analyses two incomplete novels by Henry James within the context of his final creative decade, revealing unfinished approaches to self-representation.

Explores short stories from this later period of James' career to demonstrate contrasting notations of the self across different fictional forms.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in literary criticism and scholarly monographs.

Re-evaluates James' final decade through an integrated study of multiple genres including narrative, autobiography, and fiction.
