Abstract
This essay argues that criticism of James’s role in recent fiction generally has focused on male-authored texts like Colm Tóibín’s The Master and David Lodge’s Author, Author, excluding not only works by women writers but issues of genre and authority with which these female-authored works tend to engage. The essay addresses that gap by analyzing subversions of James’s authorship and of the author fiction genre in “Dictation” by Cynthia Ozick and “The Master at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital” by Joyce Carol Oates.
