When THE OTHER HOUSE first appeared in 1896 it caused one critic to declare thatit was the work which would secure James's literary reputation.Presented in 3 acts, THE OTHER HOUSE combines James's skills as a dramatist with the craftmanship of his novels.The story revolves around two neighbouring households their loves and rivalries.Meddlesome matchmaking, a death by drowning and unspoken yet all-consuming passions feature in this work, which is little known but displays the qualities which distinguish James's more established masterpiec

First published in 1877, and dramatised by James himself 11 years later, the novel is concerned with the contrast between American and European social codes.The central protagonist is a wealthy American who falls in love with a widow of noble birth while on a trip to Paris. He supports her brother, but the rest of the family discourage his courtship of Claire but he persists until his proposalis accepted; unfortunately this only marks the beginning of his troubles.

The plan is a success: but Densher's distaste for his role means that in the end he is unable to accept the money, and Kate. The success of the dreadful game brings about the death of their relationship.

"The Portrait of a Lady" is the most stunning achievement of Henry James's early period--in the 1860s and '70s when he was transforming himself from a talented young American into a resident of Europe, a citizen of the world, and one of the greatest novelists of modern times. A kind of delight at the success of this transformation informs every page of this masterpiece. Isabel Archer, a beautiful, intelligent, and headstrong American girl newly endowed with wealth and embarked in Europe on a treacherous journey to self-knowledge, is delineated with a magnificence that is at once casual and tense with force and insight. The characters with whom she is entangled--the good man and the evil one, between whom she wavers, and the mysterious witchlike woman with whom she must do battle--are each rendered with a virtuosity that suggests dazzling imaginative powers. And the scene painting--in England and Italy--provides a continuous visual pleasure while always remaining crucial to the larger drama.

Lambert is sent by his wealthy fiancee, Mrs Newsome, to Paris to bring home her son Chad who is needed to take charge of the family business. When Lambert arrives he discovers the young man changed by his relations with the Countess de Vionette."
