Henry James 
The Outcry [EPUB ebook] 

The Outcry is a novel by Henry James. It was originally conceived as a play. James cast the material in a three-act drama in 1909, but like many of his plays, it failed to be produced. (There were two posthumous performances in 1917.) In 1911 James converted the play into a novel, which was successful with the public. The Outcry was the last novel he was able to complete before his death in 1916. The storyline concerns the buying up of Britain’s art treasures by wealthy Americans.
