Auteur: Henry James

Over de Auteur

Henry James was a prominent American-British author known for his influential contributions to literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in New York City, he was part of a wealthy and intellectually engaged family, which fostered his early interest in literature and the arts. James's work often explored themes of consciousness, morality, and the complexities of human relationships, with a particular focus on the contrast between American and European cultures.

His notable works include 'The Portrait of a Lady,' 'The Turn of the Screw,' and 'The Wings of the Dove,' which showcase his distinctive style characterized by elaborate prose and psychological depth. James's exploration of character and nuance paved the way for modern literary techniques, influencing countless writers. He became a British citizen in 1915, reflecting his deep connection to Europe, where he spent much of his adult life. James's legacy endures as a master of narrative and a pioneer of literary realism.
