Book Synopsis
The true meaning of being fashionably late in Henry James’s late works.

Trade Review

"Henry James and the Queerness of Style is a brilliant, extraordinarily erudite exemplar of reading and writing as queer practices. It will help to usher in a fresh phase of James studies, in which queerness is the point of embarkation, rather than the ultimate destination." —Gustavus Stadler, Haverford College
