Inhaltsangabe

A wide ranging discussion of the impact of the figure and work of James upon contemporary and later writers and artists. The use of aspects of his person by admirers and critics alike is explored in discussions of how he appears in the work of Violet Piaget, Edith Wharton, Gore Vidal, Virginia Woolf, H.G. Wells, Ford Madox Ford, Susan Sontag and Somerset Maugham. In addition, the author argues that Jamesian icons and motifs have been hugely influential and can be found in Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day, and Stoppard's The Real Thing, as well as in the works of Hemingway, T.S. Eliot, Judith Krantz, Sylvia Plath, Joseph Conrad, and Agatha Christie among others. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
