Henry James 
The Complete Tales of Henry James (Volume 5 of 12) 

Henry James (1843-1916) was an America-born writer whose novels, short stories and letters established the foundation of the modernist movement in twentieth century fiction and poetry. His career, one of the most significant and influential in English literature, spanned over five decades and resulted in a body of work that has had a profound impact on generations of writers. Born in New York, but educated in France, Germany, England and Switzerland, James often explored the cultural discord between the Old World (Europe) and the New World (United States) in his writings. Included in this fifth volume of 'The Complete Tales of Henry James’ are his works published between 1883 and 1884: 'The Siege of London, ’ 'The Impressions of a Cousin, ’ Lady Barberina, ’ 'The Author of 'Beltraffio’, ’ and 'Pandora.’
