Om forfatteren
Henry James (1843-1916) was an American-British author whose profound impact on literature continues to resonate today. Born into a wealthy and intellectually vibrant family in New York City, James was exposed to a rich cultural and intellectual environment from an early age. His father, Henry James Sr., was a theologian and philosopher, and his brother, William James, became a renowned psychologist and philosopher.James's literary career spanned over five decades, during which he produced a vast body of work including novels, short stories, and critical essays. His writing is celebrated for its psychological depth, intricate character development, and exploration of consciousness. Notable works such as "The Portrait of a Lady" and "The Turn of the Screw" showcase his mastery in delving into the complexities of human experience and social dynamics.A cosmopolitan figure, James spent much of his life in Europe, particularly in England, where he became a British citizen in 1915. His transatlantic perspective enriched his narratives, often contrasting the cultural differences between America and Europe. This unique viewpoint made him a pivotal figure in the transition from 19th-century realism to 20th-century modernism.James was not without controversy. His dense prose and focus on the inner lives of characters sometimes alienated readers and critics alike. However, his innovative narrative techniques, such as the use of free indirect discourse, influenced a generation of writers, including Virginia Woolf and James Joyce.Championing the idea that fiction should be an art form, James's legacy endures in his contributions to literary theory and his insistence on the moral and aesthetic responsibilities of the novelist. His work remains a touchstone for discussions on narrative form, psychological realism, and the role of the artist in society.
