Henry James's feminist afterlives: Annie Fields, Emily Dickinson, Marguerite Duras

This volume explores Henry James's negotiations with 19th-century ideas about gender, sexuality, class and literary style through the responses of three women who have never before been substantively examined in light of their relationships to his work.

Writing in different times and places, Annie Fields, Emily Dickinson and Marguerite Duras nevertheless share complex navigations of womanhood and authorship, as well as a history of feminist scholarly responses to their work.
