Henry James

His family’s intellectual pursuits and emphasis on education nurtured his passion for literature and refined his writing skills. Before achieving fame as a novelist, James wrote literary criticism, travel essays, and short stories. His early works included A Passionate Pilgrim (1871) and Roderick Hudson (1875), which garnered some attention but did not immediately establish him as a literary sensation.Novels such as Daisy Miller (1878) and The Portrait of a Lady (1881) brought him widespread recognition for his keen psychological insights and finely wrought characters. James’s writing style was characterized by intricate prose, nuanced character development, and a deep exploration of the inner lives of his characters.
