Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.This early work by Henry James was originally published in 1917 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Henry James was born in New York City in 1843. One of thirteen children, James had an unorthodox early education, switching between schools, private tutors and private reading. James published his first story, A Tragedy of Error , in the Continental Monthly in 1864, when he was twenty years old. In 1876, he emigrated to London, where he remained for the vast majority of the rest of his life, becoming a British citizen in 1915. From this point on, he was a hugely prolific author, eventually producing twenty novels and more than a hundred short stories and novellas, as well as literary criticism, plays and travelogues. Amongst James s most famous works are The Europeans (1878), Daisy Miller (1878), Washington Square (1880), The Bostonians (1886), and one of the most famous ghost stories of all time, The Turn of the Screw (1898).

  • WALL STREET in the AMERICAN NOVEL Wayne W. Westbrook A
    WALL STREET IN THE AMERICAN NOVEL Wayne W. Westbrook A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 1972 p © 1972 WAYNE WILLIAM WESTBROOK ALL RIGHTS RESERVED IH ABSTRACT Wall Street is construed to represent the American financial center, La Salle Street in Chicago, State StreetiinbBoston and Third Street in Philadelphia as well as New York's lower Manhattan district. The novels and stories considered are those in which the financial center serves a primary function, either in influencing plot, character or in providing the background and atmosphere for the main action, Both archetypal and textual analysis are applied in seeing the recurrent motifs in the novel of high finance, patterns and themes which are fully articulated and developed in the late nineteenth-century version, yet which are not found to bear an influence on later financial fiction. The reason for this is that the American literary artist has had a prejudicial view of high finance and speculation which is rooted in his cultural heritage of the Puritan opposition to playing or gaming as a way to wealth and success. The writer's attitude, therefore, is largely con­ demnatory, regarding an individual's involvement with the financial marketplace as a form of personal corruption, profligacy and degen­ eracy. Further, the idea of the sin and evil of Wall Street has as its probable historical source the volatile course that American finance has traced since the post-Civil War industrial age, in the highly cyclical and repetitive pattern of boom and bust periods.

  • ANALYSIS the Wings of the Dove (1902) Henry James (1843-1916)
    ANALYSIS The Wings of the Dove (1902) Henry James (1843-1916) “James, somewhat hampered by the prudery imposed on him by English social conventions, devised a complicated and rather bizarre plot. Kate Croy is in love with a journalist, Merton Densher, but will not marry him until he is financially secure. She becomes acquainted with Milly Theale, an American heiress, and learns that an ailment from which Milly is suffering dooms her to an early death. Kate concocts a fantastic scheme; without revealing her motive she tells Densher to take an interest in Milly, who promptly falls in love with him and makes a will leaving him all her money. But an English lord, who himself had the notion of marrying Milly and inheriting her wealth, learns of the scheme and reveals it to Milly. She dies soon after and Densher receives a large check for his legacy. He offers to marry Kate if she will consent to let him destroy the check, but she demands a recompense: he must swear he is not in love with Milly’s memory. This he refuses to do; and the deal is off. The book is regarded as a culmination of James’s final style, along with The Ambassadors and The Golden Bowl; for many readers its difficulties are redeemed by Milly’s charm and fortitude. An opera based on the novel was produced in New York (1961).” Max J. Herzberg & staff The Reader’s Encyclopedia of American Literature (Crowell 1962) “Kate Croy, daughter of an impoverished English social adventurer, is in love with Merton Densher, a London journalist, and they become secretly engaged, although she will not marry him while he is without wealth.

  • Intonation in Henry James
    Faculty of English ‘The Auditive Intelligence’: Intonation in Henry James James Lello St Catharine’s College University of CamBridge This dissertation is suBmitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy DecemBer 2019 ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to retrieve the ‘auditive intelligence’ in the work of Henry James, but it does so by first recognising some of the theoretical and historical obstacles that lie in the way of such a recovery. Structural linguistics has been responsible for encouraging the assumption that there are no better or worse ways of speaking, that the differences between writing and speech are of little significance, and that tone is merely a subset of language. James’s formulation of the ‘auditive intelligence’ in his revised essay on the French actor Benoît-Constant Coquelin (1915) emerges in opposition to further, historically situated, impediments: the lack of any ‘serious study’ of tone, the false choice between saying and doing, the theatrical vogue for pictorialism, and the priority of the eye over the ear. The ‘auditive intelligence’ makes it possible to conceive of tone as in itself a complete drama, a revelatory instant where previously concealed relations suddenly adopt an emphatic salience. In The Tragic Muse (1890) the discrimination of tone, both as a quality of the voice and of its discernment, emerges as one form this intelligence takes. This mode of personal and cultural edification is developed with reference to ‘The Question of Our Speech’ (1905), James’s essays on the speech and manners of American women (1906-1907), The Awkward Age (1899), and The Ambassadors (1903). The discrimination of tone depends upon the accumulation and fulfilment of experience, and this is particularly evident when tone remains long after the death of its speaker, or else is capable of preserving life itself.

  • The Extensive Use of Imagery and Symbolism in the Depiction of Moral Ambiguity in James’S the Wings of the Dove and the Golden Bowl
    Hacettepe Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Dergisi 2006 / Cilt: 23 / Say›: 1 / ss. 1-18 The Extensive Use of Imagery and Symbolism in the Depiction of Moral Ambiguity in James’s The Wings of the Dove and The Golden Bowl Nursel İÇÖZ* Özet Bu makalede Henry James’in The Wings of the Dove ve The Golden Bowl adl› romanlar›nda iyilik ve kötülük kavramlar› incelenecektir. Makalenin amac›, bu kavramlar›n temelinin insan ilişkileri ve karakterlerin d›ş dünya ile olan ilişkilerinde yatt›ğ›n›, ve yazar›n, kulland›ğ› simgeler ve imgeler yoluyla bu kavramlar› güçlendirdiğini ortaya koymakt›r. Her iki romanda da materyalizm çok önemli bir yere sahip olmas›na rağmen karakterlerin duygular›na ve düş güçlerine de ayn› derecede yer verilmiş ve iyilik ve kötülük kavramlar›n›n net bir biçimde ay›rt edilemiyeceği gösterilmiştir. Bu aç›lardan iki roman› bir bütünün parçalar› olarak görmek mümkündür. Anahtar sözcükler: iyilik, kötülük, simgeler, imgeler, materyalizm, insan ilişkileri Abstract The article aims to analyze the concepts of good and evil in Henry James’s The Wings of the Dove and The Golden Bowl. The main argument is that James’s extensive use of symbolism and imagery helps to reinforce the illustration of these concepts and that good and evil seem to reside in human relations and the characters’ relatedness to the world outside themselves. Although materialism occupies a central role in these novels, the characters’ feelings and imagination are also probed into with the result that the interdependence of good and evil is revealed. The two novels can be seen as two parts of a single unit in these respects.

  • Late Henry James: Money, War and the End of Writing
    LATE HENRY JAMES: MONEY, WAR AND THE END OF WRITING by EZRA NIELSEN A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Literatures in English Written under the direction of Myra Jehlen And approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey OCTOBER, 2010 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Late Henry James: Money, War and the End of Writing By Ezra Nielsen Dissertation director: Myra Jehlen My dissertation, Late Henry James: Money, War and the End of Writing, revises the dominant account of Henry James’s late work by reading it as an urgent response to its contemporary history. I hope to show that the impenetrability of James’s late work articulated his increasing perplexity before alien and intractable historical developments. In my account, James’s notoriously dense and elusive late style is in fact a plastic, encompassing, indeed lucid effort to understand certain social and political transformations. James’s late writings might be described as evolving toward a Conradian view of history, a sense that the modern social order is inherently rapacious and violent. For instance, The Golden Bowl, James’s last major completed novel, is a fiction of moral, historical, and epistemological crises, intertwined in the form of an all-encompassing, tortuously convoluted late style. His old themes and their moral orders have evolved into ii their own exaggerated convolutions, indeed have developed into irresolvable moral contradictions. Money, ascendant and aggressive, seems increasingly to define and control the moral realm.
