Thinking In Henry James
Condition remarks:
Condition: VG. Jacket: faded/slight shelf wear. Page Condition: Good; light foxing on book block. Markings: No markings visible. Binding: Intact.
A landmark work in literary criticism, Thinking in Henry James presents a rigorous and penetrating examination of consciousness as both subject and formal problem in the fiction of one of literature's greatest masters. Sharon Cameron argues that James's narratives are uniquely preoccupied with the nature of thought itself — who owns it, where it originates, and how it passes between characters — tracing this obsession across major works including The Wings of the Dove, The Ambassadors, and The Golden Bowl. With intellectual precision and critical authority, Cameron illustrates how James dismantles the boundaries of individual consciousness, suggesting that thinking in his late novels is never entirely private or self-contained. The result is a compelling and transformative reading of James that reshapes our understanding of his narrative art and its philosophical stakes.
