<DIV><b>A stunning biography of the magisterial author behind&#160;<i>The Portrait of a Lady</i>&#160;and&#160;<i>The Ambassadors</i></b></div><DIV><i><BR>Henry James </i>is an absorbing portrait of one of the most complex and influential nineteenth-century American writers. Fred Kaplan examines James&rsquo;s brilliant and troubled family&mdash;from his brother, a famous psychologist, to his sister, who fought with mental illness&mdash;and charts its influence on the development of the artist and his work. The biography includes a fascinating account of James&rsquo;s life as an American expatriate in Europe, and his friendships with Edith Wharton and Joseph Conrad. Compressing a wealth of research into one engrossing and richly detailed volume, <i>Henry James</i> is a compelling exploration of its subject.</div>
