这本书是对亨利·詹姆斯小说中任性死亡(身体上的和象征性的)的详细分析，结合对一般死亡，特别是自杀的深入研究，由著名人物埃米尔·迪尔凯姆、埃德温·施奈德曼、A·阿尔瓦雷斯和菲利普·艾里斯所著。这项研究揭示了在创造性作家的虚构和现实世界中自杀现象突出时的社会学和自我毁灭心理。它还表明，在描绘他的自杀人物时，詹姆斯反映了他那个时代普遍存在的对自我毁灭的态度。自传、文化和社会变迁以及失败的任务进一步增强了一个私人神话的凝聚力，这个神话将亨利·詹姆斯确立为神话创造者。
This book is a detailed analysis of self-willed death (physical as well as symbolic) in Henry James's fiction, in the light of penetrating studies of death in general, and suicide in particular, by such notable figures as Emile Durkheim, Edwin Schneidman, A. Alvarez and Philippe Aries. The study sheds light on the sociology and the psychology of self-destruction during a time when suicide was prominent in the fictional and real worlds of creative writers. It also shows that in the delineation of his suicidal characters James reflects attitudes toward self-destruction prevalent in his time. Autobiography, cultural and social displacement, and failed quests further lend cohesiveness to a private mythology which establishes Henry James as a myth-maker.
