In Henry James' novel 'The Outcry', the story revolves around a wealthy English aristocrat who decides to sell an invaluable piece of art to an American millionaire. The book is a satirical take on the clash of cultures between the Old World and the New World, with James' characteristic psychological depth and social commentary shining through. Written in James' signature intricate prose style, 'The Outcry' is a testament to his mastery of the novel as a form of social critique, as well as an exploration of class dynamics and cultural values in the early 20th century. The novel offers a nuanced examination of the complexities of human relationships and the power struggles inherent in society. Henry James, known for his insightful explorations of human psychology and social mores, brings his keen observational skills to bear in 'The Outcry'. It is evident that James was influenced by his own experiences as an expatriate American living among the British elite, which adds a layer of authenticity to the narrative. I highly recommend 'The Outcry' to readers interested in thought-provoking literature that delves into the intricacies of class, culture, and human nature.

Henry James

Henry James was born in New York in 1843 and was educated in Europe and America. He left Harvard Law School in 1863, after a year's attendance, to concentrate on writing, and from 1869 he began to make prolonged visits to Europe, eventually settling in England in 1876.

His literary output was prodigious and of the highest quality: more than ten outstanding novels, including The Portrait of a Lady and The American; countless novellas and short stories; as well as innumerable essays, letters, and other pieces of critical prose. Known by contemporary fellow novelists as 'the Master', James died in Kensington, London, in 1916.
