The Bostonians de Henry James

The Bostonians

Autor Henry James
en Limba Engleză Paperback
HENRY JAMES' FAMOUS SATIRE Basil Ransom, a conservative lawyer from Mississippi and Civil War veteran meets his cousin, Olive Chancellor, a feminist activist, in Boston. He also meets Olive's beautiful protege in the feminist movement, Verena Tarrant. It is a meeting which begins a struggle between Basil and Olive for Verena's affections and future. The Bostonians is Henry James' most overtly political work and arouses a good deal of controversy for its satirical depiction of the feminist movement. Even at the time of its initial release the book was the subject of much discussion, receiving mixed reviews. James' treatment of the subject matter remains controversial, though the themes make the book still fresh and pertinent today.

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.

'… one profitable way of reading The Bostonians might be as the first great vampire narrative of the fin de siècle.' Bharat Tandon, The Times Literary Supplement
