In this study of James's "The Ambassadors", the late Dorothea Krook subjects the "drama of consciousness" in James's "favourite all round" of his productions to intense scrutiny from a wide variety of perspectives. Krook's exegesis of theme, character, and style may serve as an engaging introduction for newcomers to "The Ambassadors" and at the same time may offer seasoned students of Henry James an array of challenging new insights. Dorothea Krook - winner in 1973 of Israel's highest civilian honour, the Israel Award, for her book "Elements of Tragedy" (1969) - established herself as an important commentator on Henry James with her study "The Ordeal of Consciousness in Henry James" (1962). When she died unexpectedly in her study at Kibbutz Ein Harod, Dorothea Krook left on her desk the manuscript of "Henry James's "The Ambassadors": A Critical Study". She devotes substantial discussions to all of the principal relationships among the characters in the novel, to its archetypal plot, to James's return in "The Ambassadors" to the international theme, to the mixture of comic and tragic elements in the novel, to James's ambiguity in the novel - notably, the ambiguity about whether or not Chad Newsome has really been transformed - and to James's late style.
