America and the British imaginary in Turn-of-the-Twentieth-Century Literature[electronic resource] /Brook Miller. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2010. - 1 online resource (x, 246 p.) :ill.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction -- The Travel Book: Performing British Culture in America and on the Page -- Commerce, Reunion, and the Anglo-American Public Sphere -- The White Atlantic: Anglo-Saxon Racialism at the Turn of the Twentieth Century -- Modernity, Fabulation, and America in Dracula -- Holroyd's Man: Tradition, Fetishization, and the United States in Nostromo -- Americanization and Henry James -- Conclusion.

In an innovative reading of fin-de-siecle cultural texts, Brook Miller argues that British representations of America, Americans, and Anglo-American relations at the turn of the twentieth century provided an important forum for cultural distinction. Analyzing America, Miller finds, provided an indirect form of self-scrutiny for British writers and readers, who remained safely insulated by the superiority that critiquing American difference invoked.
