The unfinished novel The Sense of the Past by American novelist Henry James was released in 1917, one year after James' passing. The book is both a spooky story about time travel and a wistful comedy of manners. A young American switches places with a distant relative in early 19th-century England, where he finds numerous difficulties. A talented article on the reading of history was written by a young Ralph Pendrel from New York City. A distant English relative is so impressed by the essay that he leaves Ralph the estate of an 18th-century London home. As soon as Pendrel steps through the door, he senses time travel. In the book, Ralph Pendrel visits the American embassy in London and tries to explain the weird events that have been happening in his ancestor's home. Later, he enters the home and finds himself in the nineteenth century. The novel that James wrote in 1900 splits off at this point. After realizing that Ralph is truly a time traveler from the future, Nan made the ultimate sacrifice to assist Ralph in getting back to his own time and Aurora Coyne, the lady he had previously been spurned by. James wrote a lot of notes about how the book would go on. Here, the story ends entirely.
