Strange Alloy : The Relation of Comedy to Tragedy in the Fiction of Henry James

Leyburn shows the evolution in the early works of James's power of relating comedy and tragedy and then analyzes some of the ways in which, as a mature artist, he characteristically revealed the interconnections. In nothing is Henry James more modern than in his finding comedy and tragedy inseparable. Originally published in 1968.
