This early work by Henry James was originally published in 1888 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Henry James was born in New York City in 1843. One of thirteen children, James had an unorthodox early education, switching between schools, private tutors and private reading.. James published his first story, 'A Tragedy of Error', in the Continental Monthly in 1864, when he was twenty years old. In 1876, he emigrated to London, where he remained for the vast majority of the rest of his life, becoming a British citizen in 1915. From this point on, he was a hugely prolific author, eventually producing twenty novels and more than a hundred short stories and novellas, as well as literary criticism, plays and travelogues. Amongst James's most famous works are The Europeans (1878), Daisy Miller (1878), Washington Square (1880), The Bostonians (1886), and one of the most famous ghost stories of all time, The Turn of the Screw (1898). We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Escrito por Henry James
Henry James (Nova York, 1843-Londres, 1916) foi un escritor e crítico que traballou xéneros literarios que van da crítica social á novela gótica, onde analiza a sociedade neoiorquina de finais do século XIX, afondando na psicoloxía das personaxes e creando protagonistas femininas que loitan por atopar o seu espazo vital diante dos prexuízos sociais da época. Destaca por ser o primeiro escritor do seu tempo interesado en desentrañar a psicoloxía feminina. En palabras de Graham Greene: “Quizais Washington Square sexa a única novela onde un home é quen de invadir o campo feminino producindo unha obra comparable ás de Jane Austen”.
