Résumé
This paper examines some of the uses and abuses of contextualist practices derived from New Historicist procedures. It uses the treatment of Henry James as a touchstone for the critical models advertised by A Cultural History of the American Novel : Henry James to William Faulkner (David Minter, 1994), and assesses other recent attempts at historicizing the myth of James and contextualizing him as a disturbing figure of heterogeneity.
