O autoru
Henry James (1843-1916) was an American-born writer, regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. He is best known for his series of novels in which he portrays the encounters of Americans with Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allows him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception. James refined the narrative prose of literature, affecting various authors who followed his style. Notably, 'The Path of Duty' is among his lesser-cited works, nonetheless holder of the intricate psychological and societal explorations typical of his oeuvre. His major novels include 'The Portrait of a Lady', 'The Ambassadors', and 'The Wings of the Dove'. James's prose style is layered and intense, often focusing on the internal drama of his characters and the subtlety of social interactions rather than overt action. His literary works continue to be analyzed for their narrative technique and his insightful examination of the human psyche. Moreover, his contributions to literary criticism and early trans-Atlantic literature cast him as a prominent figure not only in American literature but also as an important influence in the broader Western literary canon.
