Irish-American Writers
Henry James
American-born writer Henry James is regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. Among James's masterpieces are Daisy Miller, The Portrait of a Lady, The Bostonians, and Washington Square. In The Wings of the Dove, an inheritance destroys the love of a young couple. James considered The Ambassadors his most "perfect" work of art. James's most famous short story is "The Turn of the Screw," a ghost story in which the question of childhood corruption obsesses a governess. James spent the last 40 years of his life in England, becoming a British subject in 1915, on year before his death.
