Biografie
Henry James, novelist, was born in New York City on 15 April 1843. He was educated at Harvard University after spending several years abroad with his family. In 1876 James moved to London, England. A Portrait of a Lady was serialized in both the United States and Britain in 1880 and published in 1881. Several of his best novels were written later: The Wings of the Dove (1902), The Ambassadors (1903) and The Golden Bowl (1904). In 1915 James became a British subject and in 1916 was awarded the Order of Merit by George V. James died on 28 February 1916.
