Henry James
Henry James is best known for writing The Portrait of a Lady, The Ambassadors, and The Wings of the Dove. His later works were increasingly experimental, and were often described as literature's equivalent to an impressionist painting. His novella The Turn of the Screw is one of the most analysed ghost stories in the English language. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912 and 1916. Photo: © akg images
