dc.description.abstract | This thesis is an assessment of the representation of romantic and sexual love in the fiction of Henry James. The social conventions of love, namely courtship, marriage, and adultery, are examined in context of the morality and philosophies of the eras and places James lived in, as well as by comparison of his works in contrast with other major novelists who were published during the same time period. The thesis is concentrated around four of Henry James's major novels: The Portrait of a Lady, The Ambassadors, The Wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowl. A number of James's lesser novels, as well as other major works of note both before and following James's career are mentioned in relation to his work and the influence these novels and novelists have had on each other. | en_US |
