This is a historical critique of Henry James in relation to
nineteenth-century feminism and women's fiction. Habegger has
brought to light extensive new documentation on James's tangled
connections with what was thought and written about women in his
time. The emphasis is equally on his life and on his fictions. This
is the first book to investigate his father's bizarre lifelong
struggle with free love and feminism, a struggle that played a
major role in shaping James. The book also shows how seriously he
distorted the truth about the cousin, Minnie Temple, whose
self-assertive image inspired him; and how indebted he was to
certain American women writers whom he attacked in reviews but
whose plots and heroines he appropriated in his own fiction.
