Gordon Pirie guides readers through James's major works — from The Portrait of a Lady and The Bostonians to the ambitious late novels The Wings of the Dove and The Golden Bowl — illuminating the thematic preoccupations and narrative techniques that defined his career. The study argues that James's celebrated style, characterised by psychological depth and intricate prose, represents a decisive turning point in the development of the modern novel. Written with clarity and academic authority, it serves as an essential introduction for students and a rewarding re-engagement for seasoned readers of James's fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956191572187,"sku":"2026200011138-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a6b3b236-3e19-42c0-8a2a-1737fcdb4207.png?v=1783498958","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011138-secondhand-henry-james","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
