Abstract
Henry James’s The American Scene poses the question of James’s notion of his American identity and of his model of interpretive understanding at the same time. Parading his aesthetic view, is James in fact asserting his imperialist notion of America? The paper surveys key spatial metaphors of the text linked to James’s experience of New York City in order to explicate the role immigrant experience plays in the larger frame of Jamesian experience in NYC.
