This is the onevolume edition of a famous biography of Henry James whichincludes new material. Born in America Henry James was educated both there andin Europe before settling in London where he was to spend most of his life in1876. His novels represent the culmination of the 19thcentury realisttradition of Austen George Eliot Flauberty and Balzac and a decisive steptowards the experimental modernism of Woolf and T.S. Eliot. His works oftenfocus upon an innocent American in Europe and assess the qualities and dangersof both American and European culture at the time as well as showing theirvast differences. «
