Henry James: secretos, ausencias y fantasmas

Abstract

Henry James is considered as a highly complex author, that can not be understood by any reader. This is totally consistent with Todorov's proposal. As a literary theorist, he intends to reveal to us readers, the secret of the story in Henry James. Between the work and the reader stands the figure of the critic who claims to possess the key to the work of the author, the secret of the story in Henry James. In this essay, a reading of the work of Henry James is proposed that allows access not only to the logic of the story, but above all, to the heart of the characters, to the truth that appears as an undecipherable secret.
