Recensioner i media

“Anesko traces the transatlantic gravitation of this bohemian set into James’s inner circle at a time when the author had established his literary prowess and was developing his famously baroque late style. … the most exciting insights in Henry James and Queer Filiation are those that connect this history of artists, musicians, and lovers—primarily relayed through letters—to the creation of visual culture, and those that manage also to relate these elements to the themes and style of James’s fiction.” (Elizabeth J. McLean, Journal of Bodies, Sexualities, and Masculinities, Vol. 1 (1), 2020)
