"""Money from elsewhere"": Donorship and the romance form in the novels of Henry James"
Abstract
dc:descriptionMost critics agree that Henry James's novels fit in the category of romance, but within certain limitations. While James constantly reverts back to the typical romance plot, occasionally with melodramatic details, he also displays dissatisfaction with the limits of such a plot, showing the typical romance ending to be mostly wish-fulfillment. The best way to deal with this contradictory representation is by locating and analyzing those details which are common to all of the novels, such as the presence of a donor figure and money, and to chart the development of these elements over the course of his career.
