Opis

Henry James criticized the impressionism movement, yet time and again used the word 'impressio' to represent his characters's consciousness, as well as the work of the literary artist. This book explores this anomaly, placing James's work within the wider cultural history of impressionism.

Recenzje

Henry James and the Art of Impressions offers clearer terms through which to see the impression, beyond a simple historical account of a "keyword of the age"... Scholar shows us that, in James's use of the impression, we see a mind uniquely at work in the spaces between perception and reflection, imagination and reality, a mind on which very little was lost.
