Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great heroines of American literature, Isabel Archer, journeys to Europe in order to, as Henry James writes in his 1908 Preface, "affront her destiny." James began The Portrait of a Lady without a plot or subject, only the slim but provocative notion of a young woman taking control of her fate. The result is a richly imagined study of an American heiress who turns away her suitors in an effort to first establish-and then protect-her independence. But Isabel's pursuit of spiritual freedom collapses when she meets the captivating Gilbert Osmond. "James's formidable powers of observation, his stance as a kind of bachelor recorder of human doings in which he is not involved," writes Hortense Calisher, "make him a first-class documentarian, joining him to that great body of storytellers who amass what formal history cannot."

Book excerpt: The author of over twenty novels, twelve plays, and one hundred and twelve short stories, Henry James (1843-1916) is the acknowledged "Father of the Psychological Novel." With his seminal masterpiece, The Portrait of A Lady (1881), he ushered in the birth of what was to be the emergence of psychological fiction. Although a steady progression of other great novels and works would follow this one, it is this work, therefore, that will be the focus of the present study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY INTRODUCTIONThe Portrait of a Lady is recognized as one of the greatest of the many great works of Henry James. Why? Well, there are the obvious answers: the novel, which was released in installments in the Atlantic Monthly magazine in 1880, was an instant hit; critics then and now praise its attention to psychological detail and realistic situations. It is widely acknowledged to be the masterpiece of James's early period and is still one of his top-selling novels, according to Amazon.com sales.Then, there are the more intimate reasons. The characters are, in a word, unforgettable. It's easy to find yourself deeply involved in a personal relationship with Isabel or Ralph, or to imagine yourself confronting Madame Merle or Osmond. The novel's characters so brim with life, they seem like they can step off the page and into our lives. James's vibrant, living, breathing microcosm of society still feels like an incredible achievement, and it's what keeps this novel feeling so contemporary and compulsively readable.WHAT IS THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY ABOUT AND WHY SHOULD I CARE?"OK, we know that The Portrait of a Lady has already been translated to the screen at least twice, but get this: what if we made a weekly TV show based on it? Yeah, you heard us. Come on, it'll be so popular. We'll find a gorgeous, young group of unknowns to play our gorgeous, young main characters, and an unusually attractive, moderately recognizable cast of thirty-somethings to play our so-called older characters - that way, we can snag the teenage through early-thirties demographics. Awesome."Then, we'll update it to the modern day, which means that we can totally get the whole fashion industry in on the fun; we'll create a really catchy, quirky-but-accessible look for Isabel, so that pretty soon, every girl in America between the ages of eleven and thirty-five will want to have all the same clothes Isabel wears, even if they're totally ridiculous. Which they will be."The name? We're glad you asked. So, Portrait of a Lady: The Show just doesn't cut it, right? We thought we'd try and come up with something a little more edgy, a little more 2000s and less 1880s - then, we had the genius idea that maybe our narrator will introduce every episode - and that narrator will be Henry James! That way, we'll hopefully rope in the literature fan demographic, too. You laugh, but they're out there. There are tons of them. We swear."Anyhow, the name: As I was saying, Henry James himself will be our narrator - yes, we're aware that he's been dead since 1916, thank you - OK, an actor portraying Henry James will be our narrator, and he'll comment upon what happens in the story every week in a snarky, charmingly comical, yet somewhat ominous way. You know, like James actually does in the book, except maybe in blog form, like he's writing for some website, instead of the Atlantic Monthly. And, we'll get some great brand recognition from him signing off the same way every episode."Speaking of which, there's nothing sexy about 'xoxo, Henry James,' right? We were thinking he could have a kind of mysterious alter ego - you know, a catchy nickname. We've come up with a little something that we think is pretty awesome:"Gossip Guy."What? What do you mean, it's already taken?! Huh? This is an original idea - James came up with this story before television was even invented! What are you thinking of? Gossip What? Gossip Gir - Ah. Oh, yeah. Um... hmm. Well... thanks for your time."Now, hopefully this pitch isn't actually happening in a TV production company somewhere in southern California, but let's learn an important lesson from it anyway - you see, kids, long before Serena van der Woodsen and her glamorous, leggy companions graced the small screen, Henry James had already figured out one of the great marketing schemes of literature: audiences just go gaga over the lives of the rich, beautiful, and eccentric.
