It takes a healthy self-confidence to devote your first book to poking a hole in the reputation of one of the most eminent writers of your time, but this is a task West successfully mastered. Armchair psychologists might suppose that there was an element of rage at the father who abandoned her as well, but that doesn't take away from the sparkling writing and the well-developed critical sense. Highly recommended. ( ) ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
The first book by distinguished novelist, journalist, and literary critic Rebecca West: a biography of Henry James Setting the standard for a century's worth of criticism, Rebecca West diagnosed Henry James as an American who "could never feel at home until he was in exile" in this slim, readable biography, published just a few months after his death in 1916. West boldly assesses Roderick Hudson as "not a good book," and displays remarkable foresight in describing Daisy Miller as a "sad and lovely" book that "will strike each new generation afresh." An early advocate of feminist principles, she has fascinating things to say about James's heroines, and her division of his work into early and late periods continues to be a basic principle of Jamesian scholarship. One of the twentieth century's brightest minds, Rebecca West began her career as a public intellectual with this thoughtful and compelling study of a literary giant.
