The Beldonald Holbein and Greville Fane

Henry James, an influential Anglo-American novelist of the late 19th century, explored character perspectives in his works, likened to impressionist painting. Born into a literary family, he was the son of a clergyman and brother to philosopher William James. Although he spent his early years in the U.S., he later became a British citizen. Advocating for creative freedom, James emphasized the importance of personal viewpoints in literature, shaping his unique narrative style and contributing significantly to literary criticism.
