- This monograph is the result of five years of sustained research into Henry James's imaginative engagements with the burgeoning consumer culture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, focusing on his hitherto neglected fascination with shops and the shopping experience. The critical approach is interdisciplinary and comprehensive, combining original readings of a wide range of James’s fiction and non-fiction (over sixty works are considered in varying degrees of detail) with abundant historical documentation drawn from contemporary newspapers, periodicals, advertising manuals, sales catalogues and guidebooks. It also considers James’s representations in relation to works by contemporary authors and cultural commentators.
