Autorenporträt
Henry James (1843-1916) was a prominent American-born British writer, renowned for his psychological insight into characters and his contribution to the realism movement in literature. His sophisticated, often nuanced narrative style is characterized by an in-depth exploration of interpersonal relationships and moral consciousness. Although 'A Day of Days' is not one of his well-known works, James's literary canon includes celebrated novels such as 'The Portrait of a Lady' (1881), 'The Wings of the Dove' (1902), and 'The Ambassadors' (1903), which vividly illustrate his skill in exploring complex social and personal dynamics. James's fiction frequently addressed the clash between the New World and the Old, with a recurrent theme of American innocence in contrast to European experience. A master of literary realism and a precursor to modernism, James's extensive use of interior monologue and unreliable narrators influenced a generation of writers and continues to attract scholarly interest. His narrative techniques, particularly in the treatment of point of view, have profoundly shaped the development of the novel as an art form. James was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912, and 1916, signaling his international stature and the enduring value of his work.
