| Résumé: | Chronicling the tour of “the restless analyst” on his return to America after a twenty-one-year absence, The American Scene originally recorded this ten-month progress over the course of sixteen serial installments. James’s pattern of movement through the country, and its reflection in the volatile sentences that describe it, befit what I call the author’s “serial aesthetic,” a prose technique indebted to James’s career as a serial novelist, one that shaped his innovations of the novel as a whole. |
