Klappentext zu „Sexuality and Textuality in Henry James “
Using Freudian and post-Freudian theories, Henry James's fiction is reinterpreted as an arena of linguistic and sexual interaction. Through readings of novels including The American and The Golden Bowl, it is argued that James's work, like Freud's itself, can be read as representative and revealing of social and psychological forces, and then reread as a product of these same forces. The emphasis is not biographical but, through employing such theorists as Lacan and Kristeva, textual, wherein textuality becomes the field of disclosure for sexuality. The traditional Jamesian narrative of the passage from innocence is reformulated as both the characterized virgins' and the texts' entrance into the complexities of the sociosexual order.

Pressezitat
"Mr. Davis joins the ranks of brilliant young post-structuralist critics, with a closely-reasoned exposition of sexuality as it controls the weaving of Jamesian narrative... Above all, this book comes close to the heart of James' obsessional treatment of the links between sex and money, sex and property, sex and social status. A highly literate reading¿" (Angus Fletcher, Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Graduate School, CUNY)"This study is worth the attention of specialists - particularly the growing number of critics concerned with the nature and extent of James's feminist sympathies." (Sarah B. Daugherty, modern fiction studies)
"Davis's book is thorough, well paced, thoughtful, intelligent, illuminating." (Judith Weissman, Journal of the History of Sexuality)
"Davis's book makes a valuable and thougth-provoking contribution to the study of sexual, textual relations in James's fictions." (Barbara Rasmussen, Journal of American Studies)
