Henry James and the Second Empire

By Angus Wrenn Copyright 2009

    This book examines the 'missing link' in the history of Henry James's literary engagement with France, between Balzac and later French writers. It shows that the French Second Empire literary influence predates the influence of English or even American literature upon James.
