Summary
American author Henry James is regarded as one of the foremost figures in the genre that some critics call ""trans-Atlantic"" literature. His fiction often explores the tension between traditional European values and the brash, assertive national character of America. This epistolary novella captures the impressions of American visitors in Europe in a series of letters.
