	A Creative and Critical Review from Temple University
		Williams stresses that modernist politicism is rooted in its "anti-bourgeois" polemic, encompassing attitudes spanning from the conservative "formerly aristocratic valuation of art as a sacred realm above money and commerce" to the more radical belief that "art [functioned] as the liberating vanguard of popular consciousness" (34).
		What is more, James constructs this criticism of Haynes’s limited bourgeois perspective through the novel’s limited third person narrative, employing novelistic form in an innovative manner that experiments with realist conventions in order to depict a type of individual social consciousness in an experimental and critical manner.
		Although he was not socially affiliated with British Impressionism, James’s use of hyperbole renders this pivotal scene in the development of Haynes’s sexual consciousness in an analogous manner that is not explored by social realists and naturalists.
