1 Introduction
1.1 Background Information
Henry James is an outstanding American novelist and stylist, who was without question the first American novelist to truly bring his work into the mainstream of world literature, which means he made the American novel something more than the product of an American. He made it an art form, a work as sophisticated as the well-written poem, and his works rank with the outstanding writers not only of America, but also of Europe. 从女性视角看文化冲突亨利•詹姆斯小说:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_7931.html
