Abstract
The desire and anxiety which permeate the same-sex attractions portrayed in Henry James's fiction afford a fascinating glimpse into an evolving sexual consciousness which was coming of age during the emergence of homosexual identity. As I read James, I am not searching for evidence of his homosexuality, nor am I looking for homosexual content. Instead, I will look at how James's fiction relates, informs, and lends itself to a queer reading. By "queer reading" I mean an analysis of the text from the point of view of a gay or lesbian reader.
