Autorenporträt
Henry James (1843-1916) was an eminent American-born writer who spent much of his life in England and became a British subject shortly before his death. He is renowned for his contributions to 19th-century literary realism and psychological insight. His narrative style often involves deep explorations of characters' thoughts and motivations, portrayed with an intricacy that reveals the complexities of social interactions and personal relationships. 'English Hours' is a collection of travel writings reflecting James's insightful observations and experiences in England. The essays offer a vivid depiction of the English countryside, its culture, and its people as seen through the eyes of an American observer. Other notable works by James include 'The Portrait of a Lady', 'The Wings of the Dove', 'The Golden Bowl', and 'The Turn of the Screw'. Each of these works showcases his mastery of prose and his understanding of the human psyche, contributing to his reputation as a key figure in the transition from literary realism to modernism. James's legacy persists as both a sharp social commentator and a pioneer of the psychological novel.
