Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. An experiment in criticism that explores Henry Jamess late works through the lens of minimalism. Henry Jamess last completed novelsThe Ambassadors, The Wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowlare among the greatest and most demanding achievements of modern fiction. The stories they tell are perverse: characters are compelling even at their most cruel, their actions often calculating and loving at the same time. The novels draw on deep-seated myths but end with an unsettling lack of finality. And their dense, involuted language tracks the movements of consciousness with uncompromising artistrythe ultimate flowering of the late James style.In this work of experimental criticism, John Brenkman is concerned with minimalism in two senses. First, with Jamess own minimalismhis intense scrutiny of couples and their erotic energies to the exclusion of so much else. And second, through a kind of minimalization in literary critical reading, Brenkman cuts through Jamess amplifications to find the essence that churns beneath the intricate prose of the late novels. Showing how James evokes not only protagonists subjectivity but more importantly what only exists in betweenthat is, between lovers, between spouses, between rivalsBrenkman reveals Jamess transformation of the marriage novel and excavation of the couple form itself.
