Published in book form in 1876, Roderick Hudson was said by James to be his “first attempt at a complex and full-length narrative.” The story follows the complicated relationship between Roderick Hudson, a talented but poor American sculptor, and his patron, the repressed Rowland Mallet, who takes Roderick to Italy to further his art. It is a revealing portrayal of the demise of an artist.
Circa l’autore
Henry James (1843-1916) was born in America but after forty years in England became a British subject in 1915. A consummate prose stylist and innovator, possessed of acute psychological discernment, James took the art of the novel to rarefied heights in such masterworks as The Turn of the Screw, The Portrait of a Lady, and The Golden Bowl, helping to pioneer literary realism.
