Questioning the master

Description:

"This is the first collection to bring together previously unpublished essays exploring James's depictions of gender and his use of sexual imagery that is balanced, objective, and critically diverse. Nine articles examine James's fiction, films made from his works, his own literary criticism, letters, and travel writing. These essays represent a range of theoretical perspectives - cultural studies, feminist and gender studies, queer theory, Lacanian and deconstructive psychoanalytic studies, and historicism." "This volume will be a valuable resource for readers in the fields of James, American literature, the novel, and gender studies."--BOOK JACKET.
