He satirized the British aesthetic movement whose keystone was impressionist criticism. So why, time and again in important parts of his literary work, did James use the word 'impression'? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eHenry James and the Art of Impressions\u003c\/em\u003e argues that James tried to wrest the impression from the impressionists and to recast it in his own art of the novel. Interdisciplinary in its range, philosophical and literary in its focus, the book shows the place of James's work within the wider cultural\u003cbr\u003ehistory of impressionism. It draws on painting, philosophy, psychology, literature, and critical theory to examine James's art criticism, early literary criticism, travel writing, reflections on his own fiction, and the three great novels of his major phase, \u003cem\u003eThe Ambassadors, The Wings of the Dove\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cbr\u003eand \u003cem\u003eThe Golden Bowl\u003c\/em\u003e. It shows how the language of impressions enables James to represent the most intense moments of consciousness of his characters. It argues that the Jamesian impression is best understood as a family of related ideas bound together by James's attempt to reconcile the novel's\u003cbr\u003evalue as a mimetic form with its value as a transformative creative activity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Scholar, \u003cem\u003eLecturer in English Literature, University of Reading\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Scholar is a Lecturer in the Department of English Literature, University of Reading.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 310\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.1 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 22, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45837589807301,"sku":"9780198853510","price":188.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/Pt2hqRwCkT9780198853510.webp?v=1771281783","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/henry-james-and-the-art-of-impressions-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
