I haven't read The Europeans, but your comment makes me want to read it and see how James handles similar characters again. I am particularly intrigued that James created another Mary Garland-like character as I felt that she didn't get her full due in Roderick Hudson. There is also a sense in which Rowland gets a much fuller and more multi-dimensional treatment than Roderick Hudson, so I am curious to see if James does something different with the Hudson kind of character in The Europeans.SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610771042243931922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230571352342106146.post-24829039630864365642008-07-31T08:49:00.000-07:002008-07-31T08:49:00.000-07:00Have you considered some of the correspondences be...Have you considered some of the correspondences between The Europeans and Roderick Hudson? Roderick is a doppelganger of Felix; Christina of Eugenia (although Eugenia is less morally repugnant); Rowland of Robert Acton; Mary Garland of Gertrude Wentworth.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17489355678917187607noreply@blogger.com
