Recenzii
Awarded the American Studies Network Book Prize 2004.
From the Jury report: “Gert Buelens of the University of Ghent, Belgium, is the author of Henry James and the “Aliens” in Possession of the American Scene (Amsterdam-New York: Rodopi, 2002). This book is an excellent analysis of Henry James’s The American Scene. But it is much more than just an accurate analysis of this text. The author also analyzes the relevant and recent studies on James’s themes of race, class and gender, and he makes readers rethink the whole of James’s production through such key lenses as “the aliens,” “consumerism,” and “homoeroticism.” Buelens pays an impeccable attention to style and vocabulary and his rich knowledge of all the most important studies on each of these categories lends his book an extraordinary depth. To offer new and fresh insights in a seemingly endless stream of Henry James studies is, indeed, an extraordinary achievement and therefore this book is awarded the American Studies Network Book Prize 2004.”
