James Henry: 1258 books

As the nineteenth century gave way to the twentieth, attitudes about love, marriage, and gender roles began to undergo a radical shift. The five stories collected in this volume, written by literary luminaries such as Henry James, Walter Besant, and Thomas Hardy, expertly capture this period of transition.

Immerse yourself in this collection of long tales from the master of the form, Henry James. In the title story, an American young woman living in London has to come to grips with her family's seemingly unbroken streak of bad luck, while in "The Patagonia," an engagement falls to pieces after the betrothed young woman engages in some scandalously licentious behavior.
