Overview
First book-length consideration of the afterlife of James's life and texts in millennial literature
One of the first studies of the emergent genre of biofiction in relation to a single subject, and intervenes valuably in adaptation studies by considering literary appropriations rather than remediated texts
Contributes to adaptation studies' understanding of reader response, while also exploring the potential of appropriations to function as literary criticism by generating new perspectives on their source texts
