Published posthumously in 1917, ‘The Sense of the Past’ tells the story of Ralph Pendrel, an American who inherits an English estate called ‘Ducy.’ Ralph travels to England to take possession of the estate but finds himself mysteriously transported back in time to the 1820s whenever he enters a certain room in the house.
In the past, Ralph encounters his ancestors and becomes involved in their lives, struggling with the complexities of navigating a different era while maintaining his own sense of identity. As Ralph grapples with the challenges of living in two time periods, he is forced to confront questions of fate, free will, and the nature of reality.

It is also considered one of Henry James’s most ambitious and experimental works, blending elements of realism with the supernatural. While the novel received mixed reviews upon its publication, it has since garnered interest for its innovative narrative structure and its reflection of James’s ongoing preoccupations with the passage of time and the intricacies of human consciousness.
