major American man of letters  Henry James created a unique body of fiction that represents one

their historical and biographical context. Among the works treated are Washington Square  The
Europeans  The Portrait of a Lady  The Golden Bowl  and The Turn of the Screw. These complex
accounts of human experience engage with the vital issues of both James's era and our own -
gender relations  sexuality  the nature of modernity  the threat ofrelativism  the role of art.
A consistent subject of both literary theory and popular culture  Henry James has had an impact
that cannot be overstated.
