There is no better novel that gets the reader right into the
complexity of being human and the convolution of life itself
than Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady. The protagonist's
complexity is noticeable from the beginning while the story
itself is not just captivating but piously ingraining in its own
right. Its vastness of cultural allusions, the shrewdness of its
initiating construction and cleverness of assembly is a hallmark
of master storytelling. Isabel is free-spirited and concerned
about her freedom and driven by the fear of losing it. She is
in Europe courtesy of aunt Touchett and her path to marriage
is almost guaranteed. However, the inebriating Continent
proves to be an intoxicated realm from Paris, Florence to
Rome where her doting self-sufficiency misapprehensions
come into question while ostensible associates and superficial
friends craft a web of intrigues that will forever change her.
While living in London, James continued to follow the careers of the 'French realists', Zola in particular, but he was also influenced by George Eliot and Ivan Turgenev. He studied the French writers and became friends with Robert Louis Stevenson, John Singer Sargent, Edmund Gosse and many others who were influenced like him by the French naturalist writers. James pioneered the transition between literary realism and literary modernism in Western literature, and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912 and 1916. His novels have been translated into more than twenty languages and he is considered to be a major figure in English literature. His many works include The Portrait of a Lady, The Ambassadors, and The Wings of the Dove. He died in 1916.
