About this book
A literary critic schemes to obtain the private papers of a dead Romantic poet from the elderly woman who once loved him, living secluded in Venice. This novella suits readers interested in Henry James, moral ambiguity, and studies of obsession and literary reputation.
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.
