Henry James: A Literary Life

Henry James: A Literary Life

Kenneth Graham

Palgrave Macmillan
1995
nidottu
This comprehensive account of the writing life of Henry James aims at providing a critical overview of all his important writings, firmly set in two contexts: that of James's practical career as a novelist in America, England, and Europe; and that of the literary and intellectual climate of his time. By tracing the complex development of his career under such headings as 'American and Romantic', 'Victorian and Realist', 'Crisis and Experiment' and 'Master and Modernist', it gives a dynamic portrait, both factual and interpretative, of one of the greatest and most prolific novelists in the language, whose many-sided career began in the time of Thackeray and Dickens, and ended by ushering in the writings of Joyce and Woolf.

Henry James and the Real Thing

Henry James and the Real Thing

V. Smith

Palgrave Macmillan
1994
sidottu
Taking its title from James's ambivalent catchphrase, this original study explores fundamental concerns of his fiction. It adopts a modern critical approach, yet is written for the intelligent reader whose interest in James is not necessarily academic. It examines six key novels and a number of short stories, interrelating them to provide not only an integrated picture of the fiction, but some conception of what animates it, and readings that challenge long-established critical assumptions.

Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding

H. Pagliaro

Palgrave Macmillan
1998
nidottu
Henry Fielding: A Literary Life characterizes Fielding's complex personality, in some ways full of contradiction, and yet resolved both by a deep knowledge of human nature, including his own, and by his innate social constructiveness and his gift for friendship and love. The book also details ways in which Fielding's complex attitudes contribute to the subject-matter of his plays and novels and to the rhetorical strategies that control their shape as well. It further shows that his work as lawyer, London magistrate, and social and political essayist was similarly informed.

Henry James on Stage and Screen

Henry James on Stage and Screen

Palgrave Macmillan
2000
sidottu
In the 1890s, when Henry James tried to achieve fame and financial security by turning to the theatre, he was unceremoniously booed off the stage. Since the 1940s and 50s his fiction has nevertheless been consistently interpreted by composers and film directors, culminating in the recent film adaptations of his novels by Merchant-Ivory, Jane Campion and Iain Softley. Henry James on the Stage and Screen traces this historical development.

Henry James and the Art of Dress

Henry James and the Art of Dress

C. Hughes

Palgrave Macmillan
2001
sidottu
Henry James was fascinated by clothing and dress. This book examines, for the first time, the role of dress in reinforcing thematic and symbolic patterns in James's fictional world. Hughes traces a development from the significance of dress in discussion of 'the American Girl' in the early works, through dress as an indicator of social position, to the emergence of the more unstable and threatening aspects of dress, which culminate in the strange case of the coat of changing colours in The Sense of the Past.

Henry James’s Permanent Adolescence

Henry James’s Permanent Adolescence

J. Bradley

Palgrave Macmillan
2000
sidottu
Henry James remained throughout his life focused on his boyhood and early manhood, and correspondingly on younger boys and men, and John R. Bradley illustrates how it is in the context of such narcissism that James consistently dealt with male desire in his fiction. He also traces a more subtle but related trajectory in James's writing from a Classical to a Modernist gay discourse, which in turn is shown to have been paralleled by a shift in James's fiction from naturalistic beginnings to later stylistic evasion and obscurity. This radical book, which covers the whole of James's career, will quickly be recognized as a defining text in this emerging field of James studies.

Henry VIII: The King and His Court

Henry VIII: The King and His Court

Alison Weir

Ballantine Books
2002
nidottu
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "Beautifully written, exhaustive in its research . . . a gem that] outshines all previous studies of Henry."--The Philadelphia Inquirer For fans of Wolf Hall, an intimate biography of Henry VIII, one of English history's most turbulent, complex rulers, and the glittering court he made his own, from "the finest historian of English monarchical succession writing" (The Boston Globe) " Weir] has perfected the art of bringing history to life."--Chicago TribuneHenry VIII, renowned for his command of power and celebrated for his intellect, presided over the most stylish--and dangerous--court in Renaissance Europe. Scheming advisers and courtiers vied for power with newly rich landowners and merchants, brilliant painters and architects introduced a new splendor into art and design, and each of Henry's six queens brought her own influence to bear upon the life of the court. In an age when a monarch's domestic and political lives were inextricably intertwined, Henry VIII exercised enormous sway over the laws, the customs, and the culture of his kingdom. Yet as Alison Weir shows in this swift, vivid narrative, Henry's ministers, nobles, and wives were formidable figures in their own right, whose influence both enhanced and undermined the authority of the throne. In Henry VIII, Weir records the many complex human dramas that swirled around Henry while deftly weaving in an account of the intimate rituals and desires of England's ruling class--their sexual practices, feasts and sports, tastes in books and music, houses and gardens. Packed with colorful description, meticulous in historical detail, rich in pageantry, intrigue, passion, and luxury, Weir brilliantly renders King Henry VIII, his court, and the fascinating men and women who fought for its pleasures and rewards.

The Last Mimzy: And Other Stories Originally Published as the Best of Henry Kuttner

Henry Kuttner

Del Rey Books
2007
nidottu
The Last Mimzy is the ideal introduction to an author who was ahead of his time--and whose time has finally come These seventeen classic stories create their own unique galaxy of vain, protective, and murderous robots; devilish angels; and warm and angry aliens. In "Mimsy Were the Borogoves"--the inspiration for New Line Cinema's major motion picture The Last Mimzy--a boy finds a discarded box containing a treasure trove of curious objects. When he and his sister begin to play with these trinkets--including a crystal cube that magnifies the unimaginable and a strange doll with removable organs that don't quite correspond to those of the human body--their parents grow concerned. And they should be. For the items are changing the way the children think and perceive the world around them--for better or worse. Ray Bradbury called Henry Kuttner "a man who shaped science fiction and fantasy in its most important years." Marion Zimmer Bradley and Roger Zelazny said he was a major inspiration. Kuttner was a writer's writer whose visionary works anticipated our own computer-controlled, machine-made world. At the time of his death at forty-two in 1958, he had created as many as 170 stories under more than a dozen pseudonyms--sometimes writing entire issues of science fiction magazines--in close collaboration with his wife, C. L. Moore. This definitive collection will be a revelation to those who wish to discover or rediscover Henry Kuttner, a true master of the universe.

Thomas Mallon

Vintage Books

pokkari
On the evening of Good Friday, 1865, Henry Rathbone and Clara Harris joined the Lincolns in the Presidential box at Ford's Theater, becoming eyewitnesses to one of the great tragedies of American history. In this riveting novel, Thomas Mallon re-creates the unusual love story of this young engaged couple whose fateful encounter with history profoundly affects the remainder of their lives. Lincoln's assassination is only one part of the remarkable life they share, a dramatic tale of passion, scandal, heroism, murder, and madness, all based on Mallon's deep research into the fascinating history of the Rathbone and Harris families. Henry and Clara not only tells the astonishing story of its title figures; it also illuminates the culture of nineteenth-century Victorian America: a rigid society barely concealing the suppressed impulses and undercurrents that only grew stronger as the century progressed.

Resistance to Civil Government - Henry David Thoreau

Henry Thoreau

This edition includes "The definition of a peaceable revolution," an introductory essay by Warren Bluhm.
