Eight studies by ARTHUR MIZENER
Professor of English at Cornell University
4: The Refined Conscience: Henry James
Henry James is the first writer to bring the excessively idealistic American imagination successfully to terms with the real world. In The Ambassadors, his intelligent but provincial American hero is confronted by European life, and rises triumphantly to the occasion for understanding and appreciation it offers him. without losing the almost Puritan firmness of his refined New England conscience.
