Here Are The Suggested Rules of the Game:
1. Please play on the most recent correct post.
2 Please verify that no one else has posted while you were preparing your post.
3. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title.
4. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a," "an," or "the").
5. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title, e.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes," and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty."
6. The repeated word must be in the title as shown in a LT library listing, or on the title page of the book. A sub-title or a series name can be included if the sub-title or series name is included in the title of a LT library listing, or is printed on the title page of the book.
7. A hyphenated word is one word, not two, e.g., "thunder-clouds," and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only.
8. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can.
9. Try to use Touchstones. Put brackets around the title and double brackets around the author. If Touchstones don't work, try using an HTML link.

# 212 Rolandperkins: Maybe they're setting The Portrait of a Lady aside for one of their bigger sales. I, too, have ambiguous feelings about James.

On 212-213:
Thanks for your 213 message.
I do think "Portrait" is the best of those Jameses that I have read. It's at least more clear where
he stands, not that one is likely to agree with him. In The Bostonians, by contrast, his own
stance is less clear, though a superficial reading of it makes him seem an unabashed
male chauvinist. And I never liked his equation of feminism with a (supposedly discredited!)
abolitionism.
Considering the two novels as a sort of sequence on feminism, I don't see why we are supposed to admire Isabel ("Portrait") and can only pity* Harriet ("Bostonians").
And, to diss the Bostonian culture of his time, he had to have a conservative Confederate veteran as his protagonist. But in real life there was plenty of opposition to the culture, right within
Boston itself.
And, you're right that it may have been "set...aside for the (annual)... book sale.
*"admire Isabel...can only pity Harriet..." That's not my own attitude, but the way
I see James's. I may be wrong.
