    About this ebook

    Henry James was one of the greatest and most prolific American authors ever to have lived.

    Henry James believed that the short novel was the perfect literary form, and his achievements here brilliantly display his mastery of it. Noted literary critic Philip Rahv has collected ten of James’s most important short novels to make one distinguished volume. Accompanied by Rahv’s informative commentary and keen insights, this collection contains the following classics:

    MADAME DE MAUVES
    DAISY MILLER
    AN INTERNATIONAL EPISODE
    THE SIEGE OF LONDON
    LADY BARBERINA
    THE AUTHOR OF BELTRAFFIO
    THE ASPERN PAPERS
    THE PUPIL
    THE TURN OF THE SCREW
    THE BEAST IN THE JUNGLE

    Henry James

    Henry James (1843–1916) was an American writer, highly regarded as one of the key proponents of literary realism, as well as for his contributions to literary criticism. His writing centres on the clash and overlap between Europe and America, and The Portrait of a Lady is regarded as his most notable work.
