| Henry James's art themed novels explore the deep connections between art, humanity, and the secular world, promoting the transformation of the artist figure from "deification" to "everydayness". By depicting the tension between artistic perseverance and ethical dilemmas, these novels focus on the struggles and breakthroughs of female artists in terms of identity and creation. The novels concretize the artist's image into that of a real individual, construct characters based on their trajectory of aesthetic cognitive growth, and convey the theme through three plot types: artistic pursuit, aesthetic experience, and ethical conflict. Through narrative strategies such as central consciousness, ambiguous narration, and symbolic imagery, these abstract themes are given concrete expression. |
