Jamesian Cultural Anxiety in the East and West: The Co-Constitutive Nature of the Cosmopolite Spirit (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781527541993)

This volume explores the world that shaped Henry Jamesâ (TM)s work and influenced his legacy through the themes of Jamesian cultural anxiety between and beyond spatio-temporal boundaries. As such, each chapter constructs a mode of reading to map and formulate oneâ (TM)s own cultural perspective in various contexts relying on their unique engagement with Jamesâ (TM)s and Jamesian creative acts of writingâ "aesthetics and science, the (auto-)biographical as social aspects, genre as literary-social context, the artistic and the economic, editorship and readership, and Asian perspectives on cultural influences and identitiesâ "to generate insights and establish new intercultural understandings. These are the traces of the contributorsâ (TM) national, social, cultural consciousness that allow the definition of the Jamesian worldview as a particularly universal one in a global context.
