| Summary: | Henry James and Homo-Erotic Desire is the first book to deal with this subject and marks a paradigm shift in James studies. Sheldon M. Novick, James's most recent biographer, has written an extensive introduction which is now the most substantial biographical discussion of James's homosexuality available. This is complemented by an essay documenting James's friendships with younger men, which includes quotations from previously unpublished love letters. Their subjects include the influence on James of the emergence of a specific concept of the homosexual in Victorian England; James's reactions to the aesthetic movement; and renunciations in the late novels. New, often radical, perspectives on stories and novels from all phases of James's career can be found. |
