Henry James (1843-1916) stands among the titans of the literary world, renowned for his contributions to the art of narrative and his exploration of the consciousness of his characters. Born in New York City to a wealthy and intellectual family, James spent much of his life in Europe, primarily in England, which influenced the transatlantic themes prevalent in his work. His extensive oeuvre includes literary masterpieces such as 'The Portrait of a Lady', 'The Wings of the Dove', 'The Golden Bowl', and 'The Turn of the Screw', all of which are a testimony to his skill in weaving complex psychological and social narratives. A central figure of 19th-century realism, James's prose often delved into the interior lives of his characters, a style that has been termed 'literary impressionism'. His novelistic expertise is enshrined in volumes like 'Henry James: The Complete Novels (The Greatest Novelists of All Time – Book 10)', gathering his works for both scholarly study and literary enjoyment. James's nuanced understanding of the human condition, along with his stylistic innovations, which included the use of the 'stream of consciousness' technique, have earned him a lasting place in the annals of American literature. He was awarded the Order of Merit by King George V of England, and upon his death, his legacy continued through the Henry James Review, dedicated to the academic study of his life and influence.
