The success of a work of art, to my mind, may be measured by the
degree to which it produces a certain illusion; that makes it
appear to us that we have lived another life, that we have had a
miraculous enlargement of experience. Henry James A concept of
'illusion' was fundamental to the theory and practice of literary
representation in Henry James. This book offers readings of James'
fictional and critical texts that are informed by the certainty of
illusion, and links James' mode of illusion with a number of
concerns that have marked novel criticism in both the recent and
not-so-recent past: gender, publicity, realism, aesthetics and
passion, cults of authorial personality, the narrative construction
of the future, and absorption. Flannery addresses each of these
concerns through close engagement with particular texts: The
Portrait of a Lady, The Tragic Muse, The Wings of the Dove, and
some other less familiar texts. Although cognizant of debates that
have raged around James as he is read both by 'radical' and
'traditional' critics, this book's primary focus is on the specific
nuances of James' texts and the interpretive challenges and
pleasures they offer.
