J. A. Ward argues that the concept of evil — subtle, pervasive, and deeply internalized — sits at the very heart of Henry James's narrative imagination, shaping his characters, moral tensions, and fictional worlds. The study chronicles the evolution of this theme across James's major works, illustrating how his treatment of moral corruption and psychological menace distinguishes him from his contemporaries. Written with scholarly authority and critical precision, this book is an essential resource for students and enthusiasts of James's fiction and late 19th-century American literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956315795675,"sku":"2026100008542-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/02cd8f76-9caf-4add-86df-71d4dbfb8b13.png?v=1783499529","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008542-secondhand-the-imagination-of-disaster-evil-in-the-fiction-of-henry-james","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
