Book Description:

Focusing on James's last three completed novels-The Ambassadors, The Wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowl-Maya Higashi Wakana shows how a microsociological approach to James's novels radically revises the widespread tradition of putting James's characters into historical and cultural contexts. Persuasively argued, and rich in original close readings, her book discloses the richness and complexity of the interpersonal connections depicted in James's late novels.
