Exploring the intersections of race, nation, and literary culture, the book presents a nuanced view of Henry James as a writer engaged with popular forms rather than solely high culture. It analyzes how racial theory and popular narratives influenced his early work and critiques his positioning within various cultural frameworks. Through detailed examinations of key texts, it highlights James's response to mass media and visual culture, arguing for the significance of literary institutions in shaping cultural identity and the complexities of James's literary contributions.
