Sažetak
With a focus on The Aspern Papers (1888), I propose to discuss how Venice contributes to what I call the transatlantic oikos in Henry James's fiction and narrative theory: a peculiar mapping whereby modern rationality in the nineteenth century is negotiated, as well as the idea of American literature. Rather than supporting an order that is territorial or terrestrial, or naval, this oikos seems to depend on a set of relations that John Ruskin attributed to Venice. Comparing James’s Venice to Ruskin’s, I will attempt to show how Ruskin’s Venetian architecture, with a peculiar place Ruskin assigns to the ideation of degradation and loss, translates into James’s fiction and narrative theory.
