This title was first published in 2000: The American novelist and
playwright, Henry James, was drawn to the theatre and the shifting
conventions of drama throughout his writing career. This study
demonstrates that from the 1890s onwards James concentrated on
adapting his novels and stories to and from the stage, and
increasingly employed metaphors that spoke of novel-writing in
terms of playwriting. Christopher Greenwood argues that these
metaphors helped James to conceive himself as an artist who
composed characters dramatically and visually, and in doing so sets
his novels significantly apart from those of his contemporaries. In
the introduction to the first part of the book, Greenwood examines
James's career within the context of contemporary European and
North American theatre, providing an appraisal of what James gained
from contemporary theatre, his position in that milieu, and what he
brought to it. Part 2 of the book focuses on two novels: "The Other
House" and "The Spoils of Poynton", both of which illustrate the
ways in which James used the mechanism of contemporary theatre to
communicate a character's personality. Discussion of these two
works is used to throw light on similar concerns that develop in
James's later writing.
