Portrait of Henry James

Henry James, one of the most refined voices in late nineteenth‑ and early twentieth‑century fiction, is celebrated for his subtle psychological insight and elegant prose. His works often explore the meeting of Old World sophistication with New World innocence, capturing the tensions of culture, class, and moral perception that defined his era.

From the haunting ambiguity of his ghost stories to the intricate social observation of his novels, James's writing continues to reward attentive readers. His mastery of point of view and finely balanced sentences reveal the inner lives of characters with remarkable precision, securing his place as a cornerstone of modern literary realism.

  • Washington Square

    Random House USA Inc Washington Square

    Book SynopsisWashington Square follows the coming-of-age of its plain-faced, kindhearted heroine, Catherine Sloper. Much to her father’s vexation, a handsome opportunist named Morris Townsend woos the long-suffering heiress, intent on claiming her fortune. When Catherine stubbornly refuses to call off her engagement, Dr. Sloper forces Catherine to choose between her inheritance and the only man she will ever truly love. Cynthia Ozick, in her Introduction to what she calls Henry James’s “most American fiction,” writes that “every line, every paragraph, every chapter [of Washington Square] is a fleet-footed light brigade, an engine of irony.” Precise and understated, this charming novel endures as a matchless study of New York in the mid-nineteenth century.

    Book SynopsisHenry James (1843-1916) is one of America's premier writers of fiction. His famous novella The Turn of the Screw (1898), concerning the governess of two small children who thinks that her charges are being haunted by ghosts, brilliantly illustrates James's theory of the horror story: to suggest rather than state horror. A true psychological thriller as well as an acute study of obsession, The Turn of the Screw leaves open whether the children are being "corrupted" by malevolent spirits or by their neurotic governess.

  • The Art of Criticism

    The University of Chicago Press The Art of Criticism

    Book SynopsisIn The Art of Criticism, William Veeder and Susan M. Griffin have brought together for the first time the best of the Master's critical work: the most important of his Prefaces, which R. P. Blackmur has called the most sustained and I think the most eloquent and original piece of literary criticism in existence; his studies of Hawthorne, George Eliot, Balzac, Zola, de Maupassant, Turgenev, Sante-Beuve, and Arnold; and his essays on the function of criticism and the future of the novel. The editors have provided what James himself emphasized in his literary criticismthe text's context. Each selection is framed by an editorial commentary and notes which give its biographical, bibliographical, and critical background and cite other references in James' work to the topic discussed. This framework, along with the editors' introduction, gives the reader a sense of the place of these pieces in the history of criticism.

  • The Art of the Novel  Critical Prefaces

    The University of Chicago Press The Art of the Novel Critical Prefaces

    Book SynopsisA collection of prefaces that includes a foreword by author Colm Toibin, whose critically acclaimed novel "The Master" is told from the point of view of Henry James. As a guide not only to James' inspiration and execution but also to his frustrations and triumphs, it is suitable both to students of James' fiction and to aspiring writers.Trade Review"Taken as a whole, this collection of James's prefaces constitutes the most profound manual of the art of fiction in the language." (Nation) "In this volume all the prefaces which Henry James wrote for the New York edition of his works have been brought under one cover. The result makes an indispensable item for every student or lover of Henry James and for all students of the novel, which James himself thought 'the most independent, most elastic, most prodigious of literary forms.'" (Commonweal) "As the story of a story, each preface has its dramatic interest, and those who have not read the stories in the light of each preface have missed half the enjoyment to be got from them." (Times Literary Supplement) "The prefaces James wrote for the New York edition open vast areas of light for discussion, areas which are central to how we work: how we choose what to narrate, for example; how we plot and plan in making art as a gift to our readers; how we make scenes and drama that matter; and the many other details on building foundations which will hold the rooms and corridors of the house of fiction." (Colm Toibin, from the new Foreword)"
