"The Finer Thread, the Tighter Weave": Essays on the Short Fiction of Henry JamesJoseph Dewey, Brooke Horvath "For all their diversity, the authors trace a common thread throughout the Jamesian short fiction: how to handle the anxiety of uncertainty, the subversive thrust of (mis)perception, our environment's right and necessary indecipherability, James's patient revelations that revelation itself is a deception, a surpriser, and a risk."--BOOK JACKET. |
