Henry James, a pivotal figure in late 19th-century literature, was an Anglo-American novelist known for his character-driven narratives that resemble impressionist painting. Growing up in the U.S. and later settling in England, he became a British citizen in 1915. As the son of a clergyman and brother to philosopher William James, his literary approach emphasized the writer's freedom in perspective. His works often reflect a deep psychological insight, influenced by his family's intellectual legacy, including his sister, writer Alice James.
