Roderick Hudson is a phenomenon among sculptors; carving life out of solid stone and moulding the wills of people no less easily. Moving to Rome with his patron and friend, he finds that Europe tests him in ways he had not anticipated, both as an artist and as a man.
Henry James (1843-1916) was one of the founders and leaders of a school of realism in fiction; the fine art of his writing has led many academics to consider him the greatest master of the novel and novella form.
