The Cambridge Companion to Henry James

by Jonathan Freedman (Editor)

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

Ha ha. Do all literary critics want to be politicians? The predictions of the previous chapter are so naive for the hard-and-ruthless nature of politics.
