Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Introduction: Setting the scene / Kathleen McDonald -- "[She] is not, after all, a comanche savage" : reading Daisy Miller and teaching inclusive excellence / Jayson Baker -- Gold-digger with a purpose : class delusions and disparities in "A landscape-painter" / Katherine Shloznikova -- Painting "a picture out of her setting" : the Jamesian picturesque, the Claude mirror effect, and the racial and national dynamic in The Europeans / Nevena Stojanovic -- Providing contexts and contextualization : Prosper Mérimée's "La Venus D'Ille," James' "The last of the Valerii," and The portrait of a lady / Anne S. Jung -- "Bedizened in this unnatural garb" : fashion, rivalry, and the supernatural in teaching "The romance of certain old clothes" / Alissa Burger -- Beneath an Italian sky : Europe and artistic education in "travelling companions" and "The madonna of the future" / Bruno Penteado -- Memory, imagination, and the recovery of the past in the present : the American scene and "The jolly corner" / Ronald A. Bosco -- The specter of tradition and liberal agency in "Owen Wingrave" / Mercedes García Palma -- What to do with a dead author : a study of influence between Henry James' "The figure in the carpet" and Roland Barthes' "The death of the author" / Jamie Bowman. "Henry James stands as one of the preeminent writers of the late 19th/early 20th century period; however, the world he wrote about has since disappeared. This collection of essays provides pedagogical assistance for several of his short stories--including "The Jolly Corner", "The Europeans" and "Travelling Companions"--and his most anthologized longer works. It is aimed at instructors who do not consider themselves experts on James' work. Each essay approaches a single work, offering a critical analysis as well as providing pedagogical suggestions for how to introduce both the work and the relevant social issues to students of the 21st century"-- |
