This 1996 book describes a new Henry James who, rather than being
paraded as a beacon of high culture, actually expresses a nuanced
understanding of, and engagement with, popular culture. Arguing
against recent trends in critical studies which locate racial
resistance in popular culture, Sara Blair uncovers this resistance
within literature and high modernism. She analyses a variety of
texts from early travel writing to The Princess Casamassima, The
American Scene and The Tragic Muse, always setting the scene
through descriptions of key events of the time such as Jack the
Ripper's murders. Blair makes a powerful case for reading James
with a sense of sustained contradiction and her project absorbingly
argues for the historical and ongoing importance of literary texts
and discourses to the study of culture and cultural value.
