摘要：The object of this paper is twofold. First, it seeks to offer a general assessment of Henry James’s dramatic drama and of the biographic and artistic motives that lie behind his efforts to write for the stage. This assessment is in part an attempt to treat his theatre as a distinct pursuit from his dramatic novel, a metaphorical description which frequently conceals or distorts James’s life-long, enthusiastic attachment to the stage. Second, it discusses the reasons –both textual and contextual– for his lack of success with critics and contemporary audiences.
