"Daring and dazzling in scope, John Carlos Rowe's brilliant readings create the makings of an alternative canon for James's career, one more suitable to our time."--Daniel T. O'Hara, Temple University

John Carlos Rowe

Summary

Offers a vision of Henry James as a social critic whose later works can be read as rich with homo-erotic suggestiveness. Drawing from work in queer and feminist theory, this book argues that the most fruitful approach to James is one that ignores the elitist portrait of the formalist master.
