Zusammenfassung: | The Jamesian mode of writing, it has been claimed, actively works against an understanding of the way truth, history and power circulate in his texts. In this collection of essays, leading scholars of James analyse the strategies James used to address these crucial issues. Enacting History in Henry James claims that, because the type of knowledge available in James's fiction is never of a cognitive kind, the reader can never know 'truth' in any verifiable sense. James's writing instead promises an experiential type of knowledge, one that is attained by participating in the power games and moral dramas that unfold within the text. This collection argues that reading James ultimately requires not just an emotional responsiveness, but also an ethical assumption of responsibility for the act of reading. By placing James's work in a fresh theoretical context, this book throws fresh light on this most enigmatic of writers |

Hillis Miller The Jamesian mode of writing, it has been claimed, actively works against an understanding of the way truth, history and power circulate in his texts. In this collection of essays, leading scholars of James analyse the strategies James used to address these crucial issues. Enacting History in Henry James claims that, because the type of knowledge available in James's fiction is never of a cognitive kind, the reader can never know 'truth' in any verifiable sense. James's writing instead promises an experiential type of knowledge, one that is attained by participating in the power games and moral dramas that unfold within the text. This collection argues that reading James ultimately requires not just an emotional responsiveness, but also an ethical assumption of responsibility for the act of reading. By placing James's work in a fresh theoretical context, this book throws fresh light on this most enigmatic of writers James, Henry / 1843-1916 / Knowledge / History James, Henry / 1843-1916 / Technique James, Henry 1843-1916 (DE-588)118556835 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Wissen Literature and history / United States / History Power (Social sciences) in literature Reader-response criticism Ethics in literature Narration (Rhetoric) Fiction / Technique Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Motiv (DE-588)4156971-4 gnd rswk-swf Erzähltechnik (DE-588)4124854-5 gnd rswk-swf Prosa (DE-588)4047497-5 gnd rswk-swf Ethik (DE-588)4015602-3 gnd rswk-swf Macht Motiv (DE-588)4168422-9 gnd rswk-swf Moral Motiv (DE-588)4170534-8 gnd rswk-swf USA 1\p (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content James, Henry 1843-1916 (DE-588)118556835 p Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 s Ethik (DE-588)4015602-3 s Erzähltechnik (DE-588)4124854-5 s 2\p DE-604 Macht Motiv (DE-588)4168422-9 s 3\p DE-604 Moral Motiv (DE-588)4170534-8 s 4\p DE-604 Prosa (DE-588)4047497-5 s Geschichte Motiv (DE-588)4156971-4 s 5\p DE-604 6\p DE-604 Buelens, Gert 1963- (DE-588)1050431855 edt Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-12145-3 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-57089-3 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511553660 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 5\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 6\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
