	The Aspern Papers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Aspern Papers is a novella written by Henry James, originally published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1888, with its first book publication later in the same year.
		So it's not surprising that James paints the nameless narrator of The Aspern Papers as, in Juliana's words, a "publishing scoundrel." And yet he also generates sneaking sympathy for the narrator as he tries to work the papers loose from Juliana, who is presented as greedy, domineering and unappealing.
		In 1962, The Aspern Papers was adapted for the stage by Michael Redgrave and successfully produced on Broadway.

		As James points out in the "The Aspern Papers," his society was living in the dawn of "the age of newspapers and telegrams and photographs and interviews," and he wonders how any incident in a famous person's life can be kept "quiet" with so many intrusive forces at work.
		She was not only one of the major loves of Aspern's life but also the inspiration behind some of his best poems, and yet she has chosen to reveal nothing about herself to the public.
		If Aspern had been a small-town lawyer or a coal merchant or a grocer, there would be little justification for laying siege to an old lover in the hope of carting away love letters and portraits.

		The narrator of Henry James's The Aspern Papers is led much to far by his desire for the remaining documents of his hero, held by the ancient Juliana Borderau.
		Aspern had probably used those same words in his portrayal of her, and now they are being corrupted by the Satanic critic.
		The papers are her one remaining link to the man, to the God, that she has spent the rest of her life hiding from the peering eyes of the world.

		This paper explains that the "The Portrait", a complex poem, operates on two different levels: First, the reader becomes aware of the relationship of the artist and his piece of work; and then the poem probes the connection existing between the artist, his sense of self and how those emotions shape the creation of art.
		The paper relates that Rosette includes the mythological story of Narcissus to further the idea that the poet is just as attached to his art as he is to the memory of his lover.
		This paper explains that "Portrait of a Lady", seen by many as the first truly modernist American novel, was published only 16 years after the end of the American Civil War, during a period of great social change and unrest, particularly for women and minorities.

		The reader's estimation of Aspern is ultimately determined by his conception [column 2:] of the narrator's function; whether he provides an essentially straightforward view of the past (as Wayne Booth has said) (5), or whether his attitude toward Aspern and the papers reveals the same ineluctable self-deception that typifies his dealings with Juliana Bordereau.
		The etymology of Aspern's name may offer a clue to James's underlying attitude toward his fictional poet, for it is actually an archaic form of the verb "to spurn" (7).
		In the figure of Jeffrey Aspern, James manifests his rejection of his culturally barren native land; through the ironically inflated statements of the narrator, he in effect satirizes the poet whose muse "was essentially American." And this poet, the narrator makes clear, is the best America has to offer.

		Aspern's editors; she perhaps possesses what you have published." "I have thought of that," I returned; and I drew out of my pocketbook a visiting card, neatly engraved with a name that was not my own.
		She did indeed, the gentle spinster, but not quite so far as Jeffrey Aspern, who was simply hearsay to her, quite as he was to me. Only she had lived for years with Juliana, she had seen and handled the papers and (even though she was stupid) some esoteric knowledge had rubbed off on her.
		In this case she perhaps would not know of the existence of the papers, and I welcomed that presumption--it made me feel more safe with her-- until I remembered that we had believed the letter of disavowal received by Cumnor to be in the handwriting of the niece.

		The nameless narrator of 'The Aspern Papers' is one of the greatest monsters in James' teeming gallery of inglorious masculinity - the editor of a revered American literary poet, who tries to wheedle important documents from a celebrated lover, the now-decrepit Juliana, by installing himself as a lodger, and flattering her aging spinster niece.
		But if 'Aspern' is a crime story, than the the criminal is of the order of Freddie Montgomery in Banville's 'The Book of Evidence', a brilliant, charming, frighteningly amoral man, whose check of social scruples is dicarded with shocking ease.
		This story of an unnamed narrator ingratiating himself into the household of a elderly lady, once the mistress of a famous poet with whom the narrator is obsessed, and her middle-aged niece, in order to obtain papers written by the poet is superbly written and psychologically astute.
