Telling in Henry James: The Web of Experience and the Forms of Reality by Profes

Description: Telling in Henry James by Professor Lynda Zwinger, Lynda Zwinger Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "Explores via close readings the elements of Jamess fiction that relate to narrative theories and the acting of telling"-- Publisher Description Telling in Henry James argues that Jamess contribution to narrative and narrative theories is a lifelong exploration of how to "tell," but not, as Douglas has it in "The Turn of the Screw" in any "literal, vulgar way." Jamess fiction offers multiple, and often contradictory, reading (in)directions. Zwingers overarching contention is that the telling detail is that which cannot be accounted for with any single critical or theoretical lens—that reading James is in some real sense a reading of the disquietingly inassimilable "fictional machinery." The analyses offered by each of the six chapters are grounded in close reading and focused on oddments—textual equivalents to the "particles" James describes as caught in a silken spider web, in a famous analogy used in "The Art of Fiction" to describe the kind of "consciousness" James wants his fiction to present to the reader.Telling in Henry James attends to the sheer fun of Jamess wit and verbal dexterity, to the cognitive tune-up offered by the complexities and nuances of his precise and rhythmic syntax, and to the complex and contradictory contrapuntal impact of the language on the page, tongue, and ear.
