Autoren-Porträt von Henry James
Henry James (1843-1916) was an American-born British author, and one of the founders of the school of realism in fiction. His inventive use of interior monologues and unreliable narrators brought complexity and depth to his work, making him hugely popular.A prolific writer, he published numerous novels, articles, travel books, biographies and plays. Among his best-known works are 'Daisy Miller' (1879), 'The Portrait of a Lady' (1881), and 'The Bostonians' (1886).
Many of his stories have been adapted for TV and film, but it is his celebrated Gothic novella 'The Turn of the Screw' (1898), regarded as one of the greatest ghost stories ever written, that has been adapted more than any other. Most recently, the eponymous 2009 BBC TV series starring Michelle Dockery, and the Netflix series, 'The Haunting of Bly Manor' (2020).
James was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912, and 1916.
