1 Jan 1897 Jahr - "What Maisie Knew" by Henry James

Beschreibung:

- the highly flexible writing style in many passages
- often a willingness to sacrifice his own stylistic elegance to reflect the voice of the character
- use of free indirect style which allows the inhabitation of various different perspectives at once
- his sentences pulsate as he draws the reader closer to the character of the child and then further away as we are reminded that there is an author who has allowed us to do this
