Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the reciprocating collision between Henry James and American journalism during his 1904-1905 tour. It charts James' progress as he gathers the impressions upon which he will base his 'theory of America.' If James arrives as a 'restored absentee' seeking a renewed relationship with his homeland, the press greets his return with reverence for his status combined with disdain for his prose.
