Henry James

Date of Birth:

15-Apr-1843

Nationality:

United States

Profession:

Considered one of the most prolific and eloquent American writers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Henry James primarily wrote fiction, but also wrote fiction and sometimes worked as a journalist to support his fictional work. He traveled extensively and settled in Europe, to the point where he renounced his American citizenship. Much of his writing focuses on America and England, and the cultural differences between these. He has also been a leading figure in a collection of written facts, meaning that his work was as much a reflection of life as it is, rather than a version of love.

Beauty unites all things, links together flower and star, with chains more certain than those of reason. The poet, the artist, thus finds the clue which guides them in their pilgrimage throughout the world.

"We work in the dark - we do what we can - we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art."

"Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue."

"Young men of this class never do anything for themselves that they can get other people to do for them, and it is the infatuation, the devotion, the superstition of others that keeps them going. These others in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred are women."
