The Wavering Ruins of The American

As an American author who chose to live in Europe, Henry James frequently wrote about cultural differences between the Old and New Worlds. The plight of bewildered Americans adrift on a sea of European sophistication became a regular theme in his fiction. Written by some of the world’s leading James scholars, this collection offers a comprehensive picture of James’s cross-cultural aesthetics. Building upon detailed analyses of his perception of Europe – of its people and places, its history and culture, its artists and thinkers, its aesthetics and ethics – it offers a profound re-evaluation of James’s writing
