It studies every important novel written by Henry James and touches upon almost every minor nouvelle or short story. It is a revaluation of the entire body of Henry James's writing. It arrives at some fresh conclusions about the baroque temperament of the artist himself, while it also considers him as the literary symbol and figurehead of the affluent society in contemporary American life. The definitive study of a great literary figure and the cycles of opinion among his critics.''
