Description
Hardcover, 268 pages, published January 11th 2012. The posthumous reputation of Henry James was the subject of an intense struggle among his family and literary disciples after his death in 1916. This conflict, which involved feelings of jealousy, suspicion, and proprietorship, has been extensively documented by Michael Anesko in "Monopolizing the Master". The book provides a detailed account of this social, political, and sexual intrigue that shaped the Legend of the Master. Anesko's study draws on new evidence to reveal the complex web of relationships and power struggles that influenced the construction of James's literary legacy. By examining the key players involved in this struggle, Anesko sheds new light on the ways in which James's private life and writings were manipulated and presented to the public. This book offers a fascinating insight into the politics of modern literary scholarship and the ways in which reputations are constructed and contested.
