Let's Talk About James, too

Because it's really hard not to read the last three chapters as a seduction scene, and Peter Quint as an erection.

"The appearance was full upon us that I had already had to deal with here: Peter Quint had come into view like a sentinel before a prison . . . It represents but grossly what took place within me at the sight to say that on the second my decision was made; yet I believe that no woman so overwhelmed ever in so short a time recovered her command of the act."

Risque! Or am I just pervy and giving stodgy old James too much credit?

There's other James writings, too. And William James?
