Early life:
James was born on 15 April 1843 in the 2 Washington Town of New York City. His parents were Mary Walsh and Henry James Sr. His father was intelligent, firmly congenital, and a lecturer and philosopher who received independent means from his father, an Albany banker and investor. Mary comes from a wealthy family living in New York City Her sister Catherine lived with her adult family for an extended period. Henry Jr. had three brothers, William, who was his senior and younger brother Wilkinson (Wilkie) and Robertson for a year. His younger sister was Ellis.
The family lived in Albany first, 70 N Pearl St., and then went on the Fourteenth Street in New York City when James was still a young boy. His education was calculated by his father to highlight many influences, mainly scientific and philosophical; It was described as "extraordinary disgusting and fair". James did not share general education in Latin and Greek classics. Between 1855 and 1860, James's family traveled to London, Paris, Geneva, Bologne-sur-Mer, and Newport, Rhode Island, according to the father's current interests and publishing ventures, withdrew the United States when wealth was low .
Recognizing Europe's appeal, considering its metropolitan upbringing, James made an intentional attempt to know whether he could live and work in the United States. Two years in Boston, two years in Europe, primarily in Rome, and without a hacking hacker in New York City, convinced him that he could write better and live in a better place abroad.
In this way their long migration began - the story of the struggles of an American sculptor on the edge of Tiber between novel Roderick Hudson's 1875, his art and his passion; Transatlantic sketch, his first collection of travel writings; And a collection of stories. With these three substantial books, he inaugurated a career which saw nearly 100 editions through the press during the next 40 years.
In the middle stage of his career, the duration of his "social" novels has also been labeled, in which complex social and political issues have been set against international themes, both New England and European background. These novels include The Princess Cassemism (1886) and The Bosnian (1886). These books were not received by their public well. By 1889 James' earnings were significantly reduced from his writings.
He left the imagination for the next five years in an unsuccessful attempt to write for the stage. He wrote seven plays, only two of which were produced: One of them, a drama of The American, was moderately successful; Second, Guy Domville, for James, proved to be a specific and unsuccessful, who humiliated failure. He went to London, Rai, Sussex, moving towards a picturesque coastal town. There he returned to narrative writing and produced many stories (the most famous of which is the story of The Turn of the Screw) and the novel The Spoils of Poeton (1897), What Macey Now (1897), and The Awakever Age (1899). ).
James's most famous literary works include 1878's The European, 1878 commercial success, Daisy Miller, critically acclaimed Washington Square of 1880, The Bostonian of 1886 and The Turn of the Screw of 1898. James treated the meeting and correspondence with many American and European writers of his day. Among them, Ivan Turgenev, Joseph Conrad, Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edith Wharton and Stephen Crane influenced their literary style and their beliefs.
He died in 1916 at the age of 73, by then Henry James did a lot of work. Part of the reason for his exuberant nature was his determination to write enough to support himself financially. Although he wrote 23 novels and in more than 100 novels, in addition to nonfiction, literary criticism, drama, memoirs and countless letters to his peers, Henry James never earned a comfortable income from his work.
