Henry James
Henry James was an American-British author known for his psychological realism and complex prose style.
He wrote novels exploring social interactions between Americans and Europeans, such as "The Portrait of a Lady." James's later works became more experimental, focusing on characters' internal states and ambiguous motives.
He is considered a key figure in the transition from literary realism to modernism.
James also wrote influential ghost stories, with "The Turn of the Screw" being his most analyzed and adapted work.
He spent much of his life in Europe, becoming a British citizen shortly before his death.
James was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times.
