About this title

About the Author:

Henry James (15 April, 1843 – 28 February, 1916) was an American-born British writer. He was the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James. He alternated between America and Europe for the first 20 years of his life; eventually he settled in England, becoming a British subject in 1915, one year before his death. He regularly rejected suggestions that he marry, and after settling in London proclaimed himself "a bachelor." As more material became available to scholars, including the diaries of contemporaries and hundreds of affectionate and sometimes erotic letters written by James to younger men, the picture of neurotic celibacy gave way to a portrait of a closeted homosexual. Until late in life his novels were serialised in magazines before book publication. To supplement his income he also wrote frequently for newspapers. An extraordinarily productive writer, in addition to his voluminous works of fiction he published articles and books of travel, biography, autobiography, and criticism, and wrote plays, some of which were performed during his lifetime. His theatrical work is thought to have profoundly influenced his later novels and tales.
