Examines the relationship between the writings of Henry James and
the historical formation of mass culture. Throughout his career,
James was concerned with such characteristically modern cultural
forms as advertising, biography, and the new journalism, forms
which together he termed the devouring publicity of modern life.
This study situates James's fiction and criticism within the
context of the contemporary debates surrounding these rival
discursive practices. It explores both the nature of James's
contribution to the critique of mass culture and the extent of his
immersion within it. James's persistent and ambivalent negotiation
of the boundaries between private and public experience ranged from
a defence of the artists right to privacy, to his own
counter-practice of self-publicity. By drawing upon contemporary
critical theory, the author offers a reassessment of the politics
of James's cultural criticism.
