Henry James and the Philosophy of Literary Pragmatism

Description:

"This book examines the interdisciplinary foundation of pragmatism from a literary perspective, tracing the characters and settings that populate the narratives of pragmatist thought in Henry Jame's work. Cultivated during a postwar era of industrial change and economic growth, pragmatism emerged in the late nineteenth century as the new shape of American intellectual identity."--Page [4] of cover.
