The American Scene de Henry James

The American Scene

Autor Henry James Editat de Peter Collister
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 sep 2019
Henry James left America in 1875 for the sake of his art and for the rich cultural heritage of Europe. His return in the late summer of 1904, based on both romantic and practical motives, allowed him to revisit the now-transformed cities of his youth as well as to experience for the first time the country's southern states. The American Scene is a major work from James' final, most adventurous creative phase and offers a cultural and social critique of contemporary American society as well as a personal series of 'gathered impressions', a form of indirect yet sometimes intimate autobiography. This new edition includes detailed explanatory notes, a general introduction, a chronology, an itinerary of James' journey, a record of textual variants and rare manuscript material, appendices which include the journal James kept, texts for the two lectures he gave, and two additional essays written on his return to England.

Recenzii

'… Collister's The American Scene is furnished with abundant resources in terms of its critical apparatus and annotations, far outstripping those included in previous editions of the text. These do rigorous work historicising James' text, linking the incidents of the travelogue to the events of James' own journey, offering insight into the relationship between life and art … Of added interest to [the] scholarly community … will be Collister's collations of variants on the basis of the galley proofs for the chapter on 'New England', held today at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale … Collister's introduction is masterful and authoritative, and very useful is his inclusion of an itinerary of James' American journey, as are his appendices … Collister's The American Scene is an excellent edition, which will hopefully provide the text with a new readership.' Giles Whiteley, Notes and Queries

'This edition represents a daunting amount of work, and is full of things to be grateful for in coming to terms with this difficult, self-reflexive, controversial book …the core of valuable research here is a serious achievement.' TLS
'… this publication abundantly displays the kind of comprehensiveness that we have come to expect from Collister's work.' Michael Anesko, The Henry James Review

Notă biografică

Henry James (1843 - 1916) was an American-born British writer. He is regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. He was the son of Henry James, Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James. He is best known for a number of novels showing Americans encountering Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from a character's point of view allowed him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators brought a new depth to narrative fiction.
