 ‘Donoghue was alert to the idea of the unsayable, as he circled around the idea of language itself as pliable material, all the more beautiful for that and worthy of our full consideration, but yielding at times to further levels of mystery...’ from foreword by Colm Tóibín  In this last written work from renowned literary critic Denis Donoghue, The Correction of Taste examines the last three novels of the great Henry James, bringing into sharp focus the opaque depth of his illustrious body of work.  Henry James (1843-1916) was an American-British author regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism. Considered one the greatest novelists in the English language, his novell The Turn of the Screw (1889) is a keystone book in Gothic literature and the formation of modernist fiction.  Filled with insightful critique, Donoghue explores The Ambassadors (1902) The Wings of the Dove (1903) and The Golden Bowl (1904), offering a profound exploration of Henry James’ final three novels, providing an invaluable critique that reveals the complex layers of James’ literary genius and bridges the gap between realism and modernism.
