内容简介

One of James's most contentious novels and one of the few to be set wholly in America,The Bostoniansalso stands out from James's other fictions because it focuses on a burning social issue-the woman question-and explores its ramifications both within the lives of the individual characters and in the greater context of American society.

Touching on a wealth of subjects that resonate today-including the seeming contradictions between feminism and sexuality, lesbianism, and male chauvinism-The Bostoniansis at once a witty dissection of human follies and foibles and a serious contemplation of the human condition and the eternal battle of the sexes.

In addition to the Introduction, this edition includes a chronology, explanatory notes, and two appendices: an extract from De Tocqueville on democratic despotism and a chapter from James'sThe American Scene(1907).

He was a highly prolific writer of novels, short stories, and letters.

Richard Lansdown is a lecturer at James Cook University in Cairns and editor of theCritical Review.

Review

?As devastating in its wit as it is sharp in its social critique of sexual politics. No writer in America had dared the subject before. No one has done it so well since.? ?The New Republic--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
