This early work by Henry James was originally published in 1886 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Henry James was born in New York City in 1843. One of thirteen children, James had an unorthodox early education, switching between schools, private tutors and private reading.. James published his first story, ‘A Tragedy of Error’, in the Continental Monthly in 1864, when he was twenty years old. In 1876, he emigrated to London, where he remained for the vast majority of the rest of his life, becoming a British citizen in 1915. From this point on, he was a hugely prolific author, eventually producing twenty novels and more than a hundred short stories and novellas, as well as literary criticism, plays and travelogues. Amongst James's most famous works are The Europeans (1878), Daisy Miller (1878), Washington Square (1880), The Bostonians (1886), and one of the most famous ghost stories of all time, The Turn of the Screw (1898). We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

The Princess Casamassima is a novel by Henry James, first published as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly in 1885 and 1886 and then as a book in 1886. It is the story of an intelligent but confused young London bookbinder, Hyacinth Robinson, who becomes involved in radical politics and a terrorist assassination plot. The book is unusual in the Jamesian canon for dealing with such a violent political subject. But it is often paired with another novel published by James in the same year, The Bostonians, which is also concerned with political issues, though in a much less tragic manner.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ... XXI Paul Muniment had fits of silence, while the others were talking; but on this occasion he had not opened his lips for half an hour. When he talked Hyacinth listened, almost holding his breath; and when he said nothing Hyacinth watched him fixedly, listening to the others only through the medium of his candid countenance. At the 'Sun and Moon' Muniment paid very little attention to his young friend, doing nothing that should cause it to be perceived they were particular pals; and Hyacinth even thought, at moments, that he was bored or irritated by the serious manner in which the bookbinder could not conceal from the world that he regarded him. He wondered whether this were a system, a calculated prudence, on Muniment's part, or only a manifestation of that superior brutality, latent in his composition, which never had an intention of unkindness but was naturally intolerant of palaver. There was plenty of palaver at the 'Sun and Moon'; there were nights when a blast of imbecility seemed to blow over the place, and one felt ashamed to be associated with so much insistent ignorance and flatfaced vanity. Then every one, with two or three exceptions, made an ass of himself, thumping the table and repeating over some inane phrase which appeared for the hour to constitute the whole furniture of his mind. There were men who kept saying, 'Them was my words in the month of February last, and what I say I stick to--what I say I stick to;' and others who perpetually inquired of the company, 'And what the plague am I to do with seventeen shillings--with seventeen shillings? What am I to do with them--will ye tell me that?' an interrogation which, in truth, usually ended by eliciting a ribald reply. There were still others who remarked, to satiety, ..

Princess Casamassima is one of Henry James's brightest but least known novels. Together with Las bostonianas and La musa tragica, it forms a kind of triptych on the social problems of the troubled years of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It was born, according to Henry James himself, from the interest that aroused in him what he saw when "walking down the street" in the London of the industrial revolution, a Dantesque city of contrasts between poverty and opulence. It is the story of Hyacinth Robinson, a modest bookbinder with the soul of an artist, the natural son of an English lord and a French woman who, upon being abandoned, murders her lover and dies in prison. Hyacinth grows up alone, without parents, or with a gallery of characters that will fulfill that role. Archetype of innocence and humility, he will have to fight his way through a cruel and miserable society that must be regenerated by "a great symphonic slaughter." He will manage to reach the heights marked by his dreams with the help of Princess Casamassima, a beautiful, brilliant, eccentric and charming woman. Without a doubt, one of the most attractive characters in all of Henry James's work. The princess embraces the cause of the oppressed and renounces her privileges to share her existence with Hyacinth. But in him doubts and regrets will arise: he can be humble, who from paradise descended to hell and was redeemed by "a radiant angel", know how to move among the aristocracy, and, what is worse, can prevent the loved one from not come to prefer one of his equals. Princess Casamassima is a sharp critic of social conventions that, set in the time that Henry James lived, transcends the limits of time and becomes universal.

After seeing her speak at a political rally Olive Chancellor, spirited feminist, and Basil Ransom, conservative southern lawyer become fascinated with the captivating young Verena Tarrant. With very different end goals in mind they both pursue closeness with Verena. Caught between the allure of two very different worlds, Verena must navigate the conflicting desires of those who seek to influence her destiny. Through its astute exploration of gender roles and societal expectations, The Bostonians remains a compelling examination of the tensions between tradition and progress, idealism and pragmatism. HENRY JAMES [1843 -1916] was born in New York but emigrated to Europe early in life. He is one of the most important figures in Anglo-Saxon turn-of-the-century literature, with novels such as The American [1877] and the horror novel The Turn of the Screw [1898].
