      PORTRAIT of a Lady, The (Book : James)
    • Abstract:
      Examines the fallacies of reading `The Portrait of a Lady,' by Henry James, as allegory. Use of an intertextual analysis of Degas's keyhole nudes to move inside Fredric Jameson's `structural corollary' toward the larger problem of James's aesthetic; The question of gender and what James referred to as the `conspiracy of silence'; Excerpts.
