Within the past decades, Henry James has been seen going to the
movies and to Paris, both far more likely destinations for him than
battlefields of the modern world. Sending him off to war seems to
be a preposterous idea, but the exaggeration inscribed in the title
of the present volume is meant to stress the historicity of wars
and battles underlying James's life and work, quite apart from
conflict on which literature thrives at all times. The book
consists of five parts devoted to various forms and aspects of
conflict. It deals with both literal and metaphorical battles of
which the author was aware or in which he was involved. Apart from
addressing James's attitude to two major conflicts, the Civil War
and World War One, the articles range from critical discussions of
James's biography, criticism, and fiction, to studies of the
intertextual connections between his oeuvre and works of both past
and present authors.
