Henry James' Narrative Technique

"Well-grounded in scholarship, Henry James Narrative Technique offers a fresh and original perspective on works such as The Bostonians , The Princess Casamassima , and The Wings of the Dove and will inspire scholars to a fresh reading of other of James s works. Boudreau s contribution is a nuanced examination of the way characters think in James s fiction and of the way James himself perceives and processes perceptions when he becomes a character in his travel essays. She persuasively connects James to the intellectual controversies of his time . . . a fine piece of work and a timely contribution" - Linda Simon, Professor of English, Skidmore College
