The New York City-born Henry James (1843-1916)-eminent novelist,
amateur psychologist, inveterate bachelor-epitomizes, to many, the
turn-of-the-century literary observer of social mores. His shrewd
portraits of upper-class Anglo American society in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries distilled the differences
between the Old World and the New, the rise of American
entrepreneurship, and an aesthetically charged European
sensibility. With fictional works like Washington Square, The Turn
of the Screw, and The Portrait of a Lady, he displayed characters
of great psychological depth, careful narrative detail, and
distinctly vivid prose. With a brief biography, concise
bibliographical essay, and six essays devoted to cultural context
that defined him, A Historical Guide to Henry James offers an
excellent primer to the author's fiction and the cultural milieu
that influenced him.
