Synopsis
Published in 1881, The Portrait of a Lady is the most stunning achievement of Henry James's early period- in the 1860's and 1870's he was transforming himself from a talented young writer into one of the greatest novelists of modern times. The "lady" of the title, Isabel Archer-a beautiful, intelligent and headstrong American woman endowed with wealth and embarked in Europe on a treacherous journey to self-knowledge- is delineated with a magnificence that is at once casual and tense with force and insight. The characters with whom she is entangled are each rendered with a virtuosity that suggests dazzling imaginative powers, and the scene painting -in England and Italy-provides a continuous visual pleasure while always remaining crucial to the larger drama.
