Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:North America and Europe are two commanding continents in relation to their identity and culture. They have been able to disseminate their own culture and reality in an effective way around the globe. In the past, in Henry James’s time, their differences, especially regarding culture, were something like a wall that contributed to a persistent divergence and mutual misunderstandings. Americans and Europeans had dissimilar perspectives regarding society and ways of living. Facing this cultural impact, American writers realized the lack of a sturdy native cultural background in their country and the absence of an assertive conception in relation to their own culture and ways. Americans and Europeans were able to express their experiences about each other’s culture in an important literary production worth of notice. Henry James, like so many other American writers, observed this clash of cultures and devoted his literary career to the study, to the exposure and analysis of the motivation behind such differences. In the present dissertation, we will deal with these mutual perspectives and with Henry James’s perceptions in relation to Daisy Miller.
