Employing a wide range of interpretive and theoretical approaches, this collection brings together distinguished James scholars from four continents to elicit new and exciting readings of a diverse array of James's fiction and non-fiction. Through their transformative acts, the essays investigate James's life-long engagement with cities, places, and tourist sites; offer theoretically informed readings of his work's textual richness; and explore his intricate involvement with social and cultural issues, such as gender and sexuality, economics, friendship and hospitality, and visual culture. Arranged under rubrics which signal the complex interrelations of Henry James as a historical individual and of the works he authored with a web of social, cultural, aesthetic, and philosophical discourses, the contributions collected in this book make a convincing case for the ongoing productivity of James's oeuvre when interrogated from new critical angles and, therefore, for its enduring centrality to the concerns of literary and cultural studies.
Part I: Geographies of memory and belonging; Part II: Literary tourism; Part III: Jamesian friendship and hospitality; Part IV: Jamesian sexualities; Part V: Reframing James's social world; Part VI: Jamesian narrative and textuality; Part VII: Visuality in/and Henry James.
