{"product_id":"henry-james-last-romance-beverly-haviland-9780521109963","title":"Henry James' Last Romance: Making Sense of the Past and the American Scene","description":"In this major new study of Henry James' classic text of cultural criticism, The American Scene, Beverly Haviland shows how James confronted the vexing problem of making sense of the past so that he could make culture work. In this record of his 1904-5 return to America and in his unfinished novels, The Sense of the Past and The Ivory Tower, he interpreted the social conflicts that seemed to be paralyzing relations between men and women, between black and white Americans, between \"natives\" and \"aliens,\" between defenders of taste and censors of waste. Haviland's own method brings historical and theoretical readings into conversation with each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beverly Haviland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521109965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521109963\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 04\/30\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Beverly Haviland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919976857855,"sku":"9780521109963","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7d7b8d00-de9e-48a3-9c66-e9ad91acf390.jpg?v=1680812952","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/henry-james-last-romance-beverly-haviland-9780521109963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
