Long misread as a novelist conspicuously lacking in historical
consciousness, Henry James has often been viewed as detached from,
and uninterested in, the social, political, and material realities
of his time. As this volume demonstrates, however, James was
acutely responsive not only to his era's changing attitudes toward
gender, sexuality, class, and ethnicity, but also to changing
conditions of literary production and reception, the rise of
consumerism and mass culture, and the emergence of new technologies
and media, of new apprehensions of time and space. These essays
portray the author and his works in the context of the modernity
that determined, formed, interested, appalled, and/or provoked his
always curious mind. With contributions from an international cast
of distinguished scholars, Henry James in Context provides a map of
leading edge work in contemporary James studies, an invaluable
reference work for students and scholars, and a blueprint for
possible future directions.
