Autorenporträt

Henry James (1843-1916) was an influential American-born writer, known for his significant contributions to 19th-century literary realism and modern narrative technique. A key figure in transatlantic literature, James spent the majority of his life in Europe, which greatly influenced his works. His sharp observation of characters and society, along with a distinctive prose style characterized by elaborate sentences and a deep psychological insight, became the hallmark of his narratives. James authored numerous novels, short stories, and critical essays, but his reflections on the craft of writing itself come to the fore in 'Notes on Novelists, with Some Other Notes' (1914). In this collection, James discusses the works of fellow novelists such as Balzac, Flaubert, and Zola with his characteristic penetrating analysis, blending biographical sketches with literary criticism. Henry James's legacy is profound; he has inspired countless writers and remains a subject of study for his exploration of consciousness and moral ambiguity. His narrative sophistication has earned him the status of a master of the literary form, and his impact upon the American literary canon is indelible.
