John Carlos Rowe's The Theoretical Dimensions of Henry James (Madison, Wis., 1985), one of the three or four most read and cited James books of the 1980s, uses a range of contemporary theoretical approaches to produce highly sophisticated close readings of a number of James's texts. Like his earlier book, Rowe's The Other Henry James offers detailed, nuanced, and persuasive readings of a number of James's texts in the context of the most contemporary critical theoretical paradigm, and as a result, the new book argues quite persuasively just how à propos James is to the latest theoretical views (and vice versa).
