Henry James Fansite

Born in 1843 and died in 1916, Henry James was a noted and prolific writer in his time, having created 20 novels, 12 plays, over a hundred short stories and various works on literary criticism.

Among all that he’s probably best known for his Henry James novels. Fathered by an intellectual who had him moving internationally between Europe and America, James was tutored by some of the brightest minds of the time and injected his subsequent knowledge in psychology and philosophy into his novels. He published his first novel, Watch and Ward, in 1871.

Among his greatest masterpieces are Daisy Miller in 1879, The Portrait of a Lady in 1881 and The Wings of the Dove in 1902. His most well known story, however, is doubtless The Turn of the Screw, a ghost story in which the main character becomes obsessed with the corruption of childhood innocence.
