Henry James (1843–1916) was an acclaimed American-born writer known for his intricate prose and exploration of the consciousness of his characters. Often regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, James is celebrated for his psychological depth and keen social observation. Born in New York City to a wealthy family, he spent much of his life in Europe and ultimately settled in England, becoming a British subject in 1915. James penned numerous novels, short stories, and criticism, showing mastery in both narrative and theatrical styles. His novel 'Washington Square' is a poignant illustration of his talent, depicting the complex dynamics between a simple-hearted daughter and her controlling father, set against the backdrop of genteel New York society in the 19th century. With an oeuvre notable for its focus on international themes and the trans-Atlantic experiences, James's narrative techniques, particularly his use of the interior monologue, greatly influenced 20th-century fiction. His extensive body of work includes major novels such as 'The Portrait of a Lady' and 'The Golden Bowl,' which affirm his place in the canon of Western literature. Awarded the Order of Merit by Britain, James's legacy endures, and he remains a subject of study for his contributions to narrative form and his examination of morality, identity, and personal freedom.
