Summary:

This volume explores the world that shaped Henry James's work and influenced his legacy through the themes of Jamesian cultural anxiety between and beyond spatio-temporal boundaries. As such, each chapter constructs a mode of reading to map and formulate one's own cultural perspective in various contexts relying on their unique engagement with James's and Jamesian creative acts of writing--aesthetics and science, the (auto-)biographical as social aspects, genre as literary-social context, the artistic and the economic, editorship and readership, and Asian perspectives on cultural influences and identities--to generate insights and establish new intercultural understandings. These are the traces of the contributors' national, social, cultural consciousness that allow the definition of the Jamesian worldview as a particularly universal one in a global context.
