Beschreibung
The first book by distinguished novelist, journalist, and literary critic Rebecca West: a biography of Henry James Setting the standard for a century s worth of criticism, Rebecca West diagnosed Henry James as an American who could never feel at home until he was in exile in this slim, readable biography, published just a few months after his death in 1916. West boldly assesses Roderick Hudson as not a good book, and displays remarkable foresight in describing Daisy Miller as a sad and lovely book that will strike each new generation afresh. An early advocate of feminist principles, she has fascinating things to say about James s heroines, and her division of his work into early and late periods continues to be a basic principle of Jamesian scholarship. One of the twentieth century s brightest minds, Rebecca West began her career as a public intellectual with this thoughtful and compelling study of a literary giant. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices. (Quelle: Google Books API)
