Leon Edel writes of this novel: "The American is a novel rich in the way in which it draws archetypal myths and mimetic modes. Behind its melodrama and its simple romance is the history of man's dream of better worlds, travel to strange lands, and marriage to high and noble ladies. At the same time the book reveals a deep affection for American innocence and a deep awareness that such innocence carries with it a fund of ignorance. Its novelty lay in its 'international' character. It has been spoken of as the first truly 'international' novel…. For the first time, with high humor, James here addresses himself to his major theme: it was his great discovery for the American novel………." ::
