Henry James a master of literary realism major figure in the literary realism of the nineteenth century,
Henry James is considered a master of the new and novel for the refinement of his writing. He is best known for
a series of major novels in which he describes the encounter of America with Europe. His plots involve personal
relations and the exercise of power entailed, and other moral issues. By adopting the perspective of a central
character in the story, he explores the phenomena of consciousness and perception. The style of his later works
have been compared to an impressionist painter.
Henry James wanted to convince the British and American writers to present their vision of the world
with the same freedom as the French authors. His imaginative use of narrative point of view, interior
monologue and the narrator lying in his own stories and novels brought a new depth and a renewed interest
in realistic fiction, and foreshadowed modern works of the twentieth century. In addition to its impressive
work of fiction, this prolific author also produced numerous articles, books of travel, biography, autobiography
and literary criticism, but also plays, some of which were mounted in his lifetime with relative success .
His dramatic works have profoundly influenced his later literary productions.
