This book explores the extraordinary proliferation of novels based on Henry James’s life and works published between 2001 and 2016, the centenary of his death. 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’.

By combining the techniques of textual criticism and the insights of close reading, Generous Mistakes offers new perspectives not only on two of Henry James's major novels (The Portrait of a Lady and The Ambassadors) but also on the process by which they became the books we know—or think we know. Through a better understanding of the conditions of production that affected James's author function, we achieve a deeper appreciation of the historical contingencies of his artistry. Closely examining new forms of evidence (even fingerprints), Generous Mistakes contends that authorship is a hybrid construction, a sometimes unpredictable sequence of different forms of practice, each of which contributes meaningfully to the texts we read and analyze. Offering a sustained examination of the 'textual condition' of James's work—going beyond the relatively familiar ground of authorial revision—this study brings into sharper focus the complex and sometimes arbitrary factors that contributed to the making of two masterpieces of modern fiction and to the legend of the master who wrote them.

Uneasy Alliance illuminates the recent search in literary studies for a new interface between textual and contextual readings. Written in tribute to G.A.M. Janssens, the twenty-one essays in the volume exemplify a renewed awareness of the paradoxical nature of literary texts both as works of literary art and as documents embedded in and functioning within a writer's life and culture. Together they offer fresh and often interdisciplinary perspectives on twentieth-century American writers of more or less established status (Henry James, Edna St. Vincent Millay, E.E. Cummings, Vladimir Nabokov, Flannery O'Connor, Saul Bellow, Michael Ondaatje, Toni Morrison and Sandra Cisneros) as well as on those who, for reasons of fashion, politics, ideology, or gender, have been unduly neglected (Booth Tarkington, Julia Peterkin, Robert Coates, Martha Gellhorn, Isabella Gardner, Karl Shapiro, the young Jewish-American writers, Julia Alvarez, and writers of popular crime and detective fiction). Exploring the fruitful interactions and uneasy alliance between literature and ethics, film, biography, gender studies, popular culture, avant-garde art, urban studies, anthropology and multicultural studies, together these essays testify to the ongoing pertinence of an approach to literature that is undogmatic, sensitive and sophisticated and that seeks to do justice to the complex interweavings of literature, culture and biography in twentieth-century American writing.

THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY INTRODUCTIONThe Portrait of a Lady is recognized as one of the greatest of the many great works of Henry James. Why? Well, there are the obvious answers: the novel, which was released in installments in the Atlantic Monthly magazine in 1880, was an instant hit; critics then and now praise its attention to psychological detail and realistic situations. It is widely acknowledged to be the masterpiece of James's early period and is still one of his top-selling novels, according to Amazon.com sales.Then, there are the more intimate reasons. The characters are, in a word, unforgettable. It's easy to find yourself deeply involved in a personal relationship with Isabel or Ralph, or to imagine yourself confronting Madame Merle or Osmond. The novel's characters so brim with life, they seem like they can step off the page and into our lives. James's vibrant, living, breathing microcosm of society still feels like an incredible achievement, and it's what keeps this novel feeling so contemporary and compulsively readable.WHAT IS THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY ABOUT AND WHY SHOULD I CARE?"OK, we know that The Portrait of a Lady has already been translated to the screen at least twice, but get this: what if we made a weekly TV show based on it? Yeah, you heard us. Come on, it'll be so popular. We'll find a gorgeous, young group of unknowns to play our gorgeous, young main characters, and an unusually attractive, moderately recognizable cast of thirty-somethings to play our so-called older characters - that way, we can snag the teenage through early-thirties demographics. Awesome."Then, we'll update it to the modern day, which means that we can totally get the whole fashion industry in on the fun; we'll create a really catchy, quirky-but-accessible look for Isabel, so that pretty soon, every girl in America between the ages of eleven and thirty-five will want to have all the same clothes Isabel wears, even if they're totally ridiculous. Which they will be."The name? We're glad you asked. So, Portrait of a Lady: The Show just doesn't cut it, right? We thought we'd try and come up with something a little more edgy, a little more 2000s and less 1880s - then, we had the genius idea that maybe our narrator will introduce every episode - and that narrator will be Henry James! That way, we'll hopefully rope in the literature fan demographic, too. You laugh, but they're out there. There are tons of them. We swear."Anyhow, the name: As I was saying, Henry James himself will be our narrator - yes, we're aware that he's been dead since 1916, thank you - OK, an actor portraying Henry James will be our narrator, and he'll comment upon what happens in the story every week in a snarky, charmingly comical, yet somewhat ominous way. You know, like James actually does in the book, except maybe in blog form, like he's writing for some website, instead of the Atlantic Monthly. And, we'll get some great brand recognition from him signing off the same way every episode."Speaking of which, there's nothing sexy about 'xoxo, Henry James,' right? We were thinking he could have a kind of mysterious alter ego - you know, a catchy nickname. We've come up with a little something that we think is pretty awesome:"Gossip Guy."What? What do you mean, it's already taken?! Huh? This is an original idea - James came up with this story before television was even invented! What are you thinking of? Gossip What? Gossip Gir - Ah. Oh, yeah. Um... hmm. Well... thanks for your time."Now, hopefully this pitch isn't actually happening in a TV production company somewhere in southern California, but let's learn an important lesson from it anyway - you see, kids, long before Serena van der Woodsen and her glamorous, leggy companions graced the small screen, Henry James had already figured out one of the great marketing schemes of literature: audiences just go gaga over the lives of the rich, beautiful, and eccentric.
