- Summary:
- "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"-- Provided by publisher.
