Henry James and Modern Moral LifeCambridge University Press, 19 juil. 2001 - 206 pages This important new book argues that Henry James reveals in his fiction a sophisticated theory of moral understanding and moral motivation. The claim is that in his novels and short stories James is engaged in a distinctive kind of original thinking and re flecting on modern moral life. The book offers important new interpretations of many of his novels as well as several of the short stories. The book is written by one of the pre-eminent interpreters of the modern European philosophical tradition and will interest both philosophers and literary critics. However, the style is completely non-technical with no reliance on terms from contemporary literary or philosophical theory and will therefore be accessible to students and general readers of James. |
