    摘要、提要註: In an innovative reading of fin-de-siecle cultural texts, Brook Miller argues that British representations of America, Americans, and Anglo-American relations at the turn of the twentieth century provided an important forum for cultural distinction. Analyzing America, Miller finds, provided an indirect form of self-scrutiny for British writers and readers, who remained safely insulated by the superiority that critiquing American difference invoked.
