    Landscape with Figures
    Author

    Joseph Cowley

    Henry James, born April 15, 1843, is regarded as one of the key literary figures of the 19th century, writing mainly narrative fiction. His style of writing, often verbose and indirect, especially in his later years, can make him difficult to read. Often, imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue, and narrators who were not necessarily reliable, brought depth and interest to his fiction. The Aspern Papers, The Portrait of a Lady (1881), and The Golden Bowl (1916) are also available in this series, Classics Condensed by Cowley.
