{"product_id":"henry-james-and-the-imagination-tessa-hadley-9780521119856","title":"Henry James and the Imagination of Pleasure","description":"Tessa Hadley examines how Henry James progressively disentangles himself from the moralizing frame through which English-language novels in the nineteenth century had visualized sexual passion. Hadley argues that his relationship with the European novel tradition was crucial, helping to leave behind the belief that only bad women could be sexual. She explores the emphasis James placed on the power of pleasure and play--themes central to his ambitious goal to represent the privileges and the pains of turn-of-the-century leisure class society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tessa Hadley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521119855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521119856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d","brand":"Tessa Hadley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685600809215,"sku":"9780521119856","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_edc0ef63-9d82-4399-9d73-ffdf78542457.jpg?v=1741726209","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/henry-james-and-the-imagination-tessa-hadley-9780521119856","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
