He had been conveyed by friends an hour or two before to the house at which she was staying. The great rooms caused so much poetry and history to press upon him that he needed some straying apart to feel in a proper relation with them. They led to his closer meeting with May Bartram, whose face had begun merely by troubling him rather pleasantly. . . . |

Contributor Bio(s): James, Henry: - "Henry James (1843 - 1916) was an American-born British writer. He is regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. He was the son of Henry James, Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James. He is best known for a number of novels showing Americans encountering Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from a character's point of view allowed him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators brought a new depth to narrative fiction." |
