About this Item

8vo 207pp. from front flap: "Philip M. Weinstein examines here the continual interplay between imagination and experience in James's fiction through six representative novels: Roderick Hudson, The Portrait of a Lady, What Maisie Knew, The Sacred Fount, The Ambassadors, and The Golden Bowl. He shows that James's formal techniques have in common a massive appeal to the imagination, both of the characters within the novel and of the reader outside it. And, he argues, tehse techniques tend to minimize the expression of certain kinds of experience, particularly intimacy and passion." #01932.
