Henry James, an influential Anglo-American novelist of the late 19th century, was known for his character-driven narratives, often likened to impressionist art. Born into a scholarly family, he spent most of his life in England, becoming a British citizen in 1915. His literary approach emphasized the importance of perspective, advocating for writers' freedom in their portrayal of reality. Notably, his familial connections include his brother William, a prominent philosopher, and his sister Alice, also a writer.
