The Finer Grain

Meer over het boek

Henry James, a pivotal figure in late 19th-century literature, was an Anglo-American novelist known for his character-driven narratives and unique perspective. Growing up in the U.S. and later becoming a British citizen, he was influenced by his family's intellectual legacy, including his brother, philosopher William James. James's writing style, likened to impressionist painting, emphasizes subjective viewpoints, while his literary criticism advocates for creative freedom among writers in their exploration of the world.
