Abstract
The theory, as well as the practice of the literary approach in this book have, I hope, implied sufficiently strongly that they do not lead to ‘conclusions’. Just as Henry James’s tale is the message, the ‘final meaning’ and the ‘moral’, so this essay is the thesis and its conclusion. It is the demonstration of the literary analyses of James’s works that must bear out the implications and consequences of the theory outlined; just as the theory may be considered the conclusion of practised analysis.
