Part One concentrates on biofictions about James by David Lodge and Colm Tóibín, and those written from the perspective of the key female figures in his life. Part Two explores appropriations of .The Portrait of a Lady., .The Turn of the Screw., and .The Ambassadors.. The book articulates the developments in biographical and adaptive writing that enabled millennial writers to engage so explicitly with James, locates the sources of his appeal, and explores the different forms of engagement taken. Layne analyses how these manifestations of James’s legacy might function differently for knowing versus unknowing readers, and how they might perform the role of literary criticism. Overarching themes include ideas of queering, the concern with seeking redress, and the frustrated quest for origin, authenticity, or ‘the real thing’.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Appropriation; Biofiction; Queer; Feminist; Adaptation | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-31650-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-31652-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-31650-1 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerl |
