Henry James' Last Romance: Making Sense of the Past and the American Scene - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Haviland, Beverly (State University of New York, Stony Brook)
In this 1998 study of Henry James's classic text of cultural criticism, The American Scene, and two unfinished novels, Beverly Haviland shows how James confronted the vexing problem of making sense of the past so that he could make culture work. Haviland follows James's interpretative practice by bringing historical and theoretical readings into conversation.
