The Portrait of a Lady audiobook Henry JAMES The Portrait of a Lady (solo version) Henry JAMES (1843 - 1916) The Portrait of a Lady is a novel by Henry James, first published as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly and Macmillan's Magazine in 1880–81 and then as a book in 1881. It is one of James's most popular long novels, and is regarded by critics as one of his finest. The Portrait of a Lady is the story of a spirited young American woman, Isabel Archer, who "affronts her destiny" and finds it overwhelming. She inherits a large amount of money and subsequently becomes the victim of Machiavellian scheming by two American expatriates. Like many of James's novels, it is set in Europe, mostly England and Italy. Generally regarded as the masterpiece of James's early period, this novel reflects James's continuing interest in the differences between the New World and the Old, often to the detriment of the former. It also treats in a profound way the themes of personal freedom, responsibility, and betrayal. - Summary by Wikipedia Genre(s): Literary Fiction, Romance Language: English Henry James (1843 - 1916) Henry James, OM (15 April 1843 – 28 February 1916) was an American-born writer, regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. He was the son of Henry James, Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James. James alternated between America and Europe for the first 20 years of his life, after which he settled in England, becoming a British subject in 1915, one year before his death. He is primarily known for the series of novels in which he portrays the encounter of Americans with Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allows him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. tags : henry james books henry james novels henry james quotes henry james the ambassadors henry james author henry james biography henry james daisy miller henry james the turn of the screw the ambassadors henry james henry james novel daisy miller henry james henry james book henry and james henry james the art of fiction henry james turn of the screw the art of fiction henry james daisy miller by henry james henry james biographer books by henry james henry james in the cage the turn of the screw henry james henry james short stories henry james review henry james works henry james wiki the golden bowl henry james the real thing henry james henry james the golden bowl henry james quote henry james novels list henry james the real thing the turn of the screw by henry james william and henry james james henry the turn of the screw author henry james henry james shoes daisy miller novels by henry james henry james lugs turn of the screw henry james henry james bicycle henry james the europeans the real thing henry james summary henry james art of fiction henry james bibliography joseph conrad books james henry hammond henry james ambassadors the europeans henry james henry james the real thing summary henry james realism george eliot novels the art of fiction henry james summary henry james heroine henry james senior biography of henry james henry jame henry james movies the bostonians henry james henry james novella henry james daisy miller a study james henry leigh hunt henry james saloon henry james book list henry james writing style henry james golden bowl henry james society henry james the bostonians henry james gay henry james writer art of fiction henry james novels of henry james the ambassadors by henry james henry james the art of fiction summary henry james italian hours henry james the middle years the pupil henry james henry james daisy miller summary works of henry james henry james the real thing analysis henry james the figure in the carpet henry james letters henry james style the art of fiction by henry james in the cage henry james the golden bowl by henry james henry james bikes henry james poems henry james ghost stories the ambiguity of henry james henry james maisie the ivory tower henry james the real thing henry james sparknotes henry james scrittore henry james autobiography henry james the aspern papers books by joseph conrad the real thing by henry james henry james family list of henry james novels william henry james james henry scullin henry james life the real thing henry james analysis william james philosopher henry james thoreau henry james jr biography henry james henry james bicycles henry james bio turn of the screw by henry james who was henry james ambassadors henry james henry james criticism henry james hawthorne henry james new york edition henry james the pupil best henry james novel james henry writer
