Synopsis
This book explores the concept of representation in literature, examining its formal, linguistic, social, and political dimensions. It analyzes the tension between a narrative's 'center of consciousness' and the idea of displaced agency, drawing on Jacques Derrida's theories. Through detailed readings of Henry James's novels, the study reveals how representation both completes and suggests limitations within a text.
