Henry James (1843-1916) was an America-born English writer whose novels, short stories and letters established the foundation of the modernist movement in twentieth century fiction and poetry. His career, one of the most significant and influential in English literature, spanned over five decades and resulted in a body of work that has had a profound impact on generations of writers. Born in New York, but educated in France, Germany, England and Switzerland, James often explored the cultural discord between the Old World (Europe) and the New World (United States) in his writings. Included in this third volume of ‘The Complete Tales of Henry James’ are some of the works published between 1873 and 1875, at the beginning of James’ rise to popularity. Beginning with ‘The Madonna of the Future’, this volume also includes ‘The Sweetheart of M. Briseux, ‘ ‘The Last of the Valerii, ‘ ‘Madame de Mauves, ‘ ‘Adina, ‘ ‘Professor Fargo, ‘ ‘Eugene Pickering, ‘ and ‘Benvolio.’
