About this book
Henry James's novel follows Lambert Strether, an American sent to Europe to retrieve a young man from a supposedly unsuitable romance, only to reconsider his own outlook amid the appeal of Parisian life. It suits readers interested in psychological fiction and early modernist literature.
Henry James
Henry James was an American-British author. He is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. He was the son of theologian Henry James Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.
