Henry James

Henry James was an American-born author who spent much of his life abroad, becoming a British citizen in 1915, a year before his death. His novels include The Portrait of a Lady and The Wings of the Dove, which explore the social and marital dealings between Americans, the English and continental Europeans. His novella The Turn of the Screw is considered the most analysed ghost story in English, and he is seen as a key figure bridging literary realism and modernism.
