Henry James was born in New York in 1843 and was educated in Europe and America. He left Harvard Law School in 1863, after a year’s attendance, to concentrate on writing, and from 1869 he began to make prolonged visits to Europe, eventually settling in England in 1876. His literary output was prodigious and of the highest quality: more than ten outstanding novels, including The Portrait of a Lady and The American; countless novellas and short stories; as well as innumerable essays, letters, and other pieces of critical prose. Known by contemporary fellow novelists as ‘The Master’, James died in London in 1916.
