Henry James - eminent novelist, amateur psychologist, inveterate bachelor - epitomizes, to many, the literary observer of social mores. His shrewd portraits of upper-class Anglo-American society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries distilled the differences between the Old World and the New World, the rise of American entrepreneurship, and an aesthetically charged European sensibility. This book offers a primer to the author's fiction and the cultural milieu that influenced him.
Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph
