Abstract: This essay offers a close reading of Book Fifth, chapter 4 of The Wings of the Dove . In dialogue with William Empson, I argue that Milly Theale’s meditation on the “question of ‘living’” draws attention to the ways in which commonplace ideas about “life” break down when subjected to even a small amount of analytic pressure.

Abstract: While certain discussions of trans pronouns refer to third-person “address,” for Benveniste, “address” is limited to “I” and “you”; the third person is the “non-person.” From Jean-Claude Milner’s theory of names and insults and forms of quasi-address that place one above or below the person, the article turns to three other crossings of pro-nominal “person”—psychoanalytic transference (an address to the third person hidden within an I/you address), free-indirect style (a first-person discourse in the third), and certain reversals of person in James’s ghost stories—in order to understand the ending of The Ambassadors and Strether’s realizations there.

Abstract: Henry James’s fourth phase memoirs A Small Boy and Others and Notes of a Son and Brother benefit from a disability studies perspective. Furthering the social criticism of The American Scene , James’s life-writing disclosed his alterity—queer, neuro-divergent, and chronically ill—to resist regimes of normalcy and hegemonic masculinity, epitomized by Theodore Roosevelt. His intent to adopt Hendrik Andersen demonstrated this shift in his gay identity. Disability connects James’s life-writing to his fictional protagonists whose impairments include chronic illness and the non-normative cognitive and sexual difference of Jamesian artist figures.

Pierre A. Walker
Abstract: James scholarship sees chapter 17 of The American , which takes place at a performance of Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni , as particularly significant. However, a fundamental error about Don Giovanni has led to erroneous conclusions. The error is that Don Giovanni as performed during the 19th century was different from this opera as performed recently. Nevertheless, even the most historically informed criticism on chapter 17 has fallen prey to incorrect assumptions due to not taking into consideration the opera’s performance history. Considering the chapter in light of this performance history leads to a re-interpretation of the characterization of Christopher Newman and of Urbain de Bellegarde.
