Henry
James was born in New York City into a wealthy family. His father, Henry
James Sr, was one of the best-known intellectuals in
mid-nineteenth-century America, whose friends included Thoreau, Emerson
and Hawthorne. His Irish grandfather had provided the wealth that
endowed his heirs with the privileges of comfort and social affluence.
James made little money from his novels. After living in Paris, where
James was contributor to the New York Tribune, he moved to England,
living first in London and then in Rye, Sussex. During his first years
in Europe James wrote novels that portrayed Americans living abroad. |

THE
PORTRAIT OF A LADY
Fiction
Isabel Archer's aunt comes to
America after the death of Isabel's father in order to take her niece to
Europe. On her arrival in England, Isabel meets her cousin Ralph, her
uncle, Mr. Touchett, and the great nobleman of the area, Lord Warburton,
who immediately falls in love with her. After a short time, Warburton
proposes to Isabel, but she turns him down, maintaining that she
cherishes her freedom and independence too much to marry. A short time
later, her journalist friend Henrietta Stackpole arrives in England and
tells Isabel that her American suitor Caspar Goodwood has followed
Isabel to England. |
