Autorenporträt
Henry James (1843–1916) was a towering figure in the realm of English-language literature, a masterful novelist and a perceptive literary critic whose work often interrogated the interplay of consciousness, culture, and society. Born in New York City to an intellectual family, James was exposed to a transatlantic lifestyle, living both in Europe and the United States. This bicultural experience deeply influenced his literary perspective, leading to profound explorations of the differences between the New World and the Old. James's narrative technique, particularly his use of the interior monologue and unreliable narrators, marked a significant departure from the straightforward realism of his contemporaries and helped forge a path toward literary modernism. Among his major works, 'The Portrait of a Lady' and 'The Wings of the Dove' stand out as exemplary showcases of his psychological depth and his ability to examine the subtleties of social relations. While 'Gabrielle de Bergerac' might not be as widely recognized as some of his lengthier novels, it nonetheless portrays his acumen in historical settings and his signature exploration of personal consciousness. James was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912, and 1916, reflecting his global stature as a writer of immense significance whose influence endures in literary studies to this day.
