Henry James and the Art of Impressions

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Henry James criticized the impressionism movement, yet time and again used the word 'impressio' to represent his characters's consciousness, as well as the work of the literary artist. This book explores this anomaly, placing James's work within the wider cultural history of impressionism.
