Abstract: "The new study of James draws on novels and short stories from throughout his career to discuss James's importance as a theorist of the novel and to argue his importance as an American. It sees in the folds of James's prose different ways of creating an extra space in which something uncanny, something haunted, in nineteenth-century American history can be located. This space can be used to conceal what James said Hawthorne was fascinated by - "the interest behind the interest"."
