Summary

The Essays are written in a wide range of styles, from the plain and unadorned to the epigrammatic. They cover topics drawn from both public and private life, and in each case the essays cover their topics systematically from a number of different angles, weighing one argument against another. Though Bacon considered the Essays "but as recreation of my other studies", he was given high praise by his contemporaries, even to the point of crediting him with having invented the essay form.
Available since: 12/19/2023.

    Henry James was born 15th April 1843 in New York City. 
 
His youth was spent travelling with his family receiving what was an "extraordinarily haphazard and promiscuous" education as they journeyed through London, Paris, Geneva, Boulogne-sur-Mer and Newport, Rhode Island, according to the father's current interests and publishing ventures. James studied primarily with tutors and only briefly attended schools.    
 
Undoubtedly the quality of his writing has ensured his name is enshrined in the American literary tradition.  
 
James was a committed Anglophile and spent most of his adult life as an expatriate in Europe.  Many of his novels juxtapose the Old World with the New World. Classics such as ‘The Portrait of a Lady’, ‘Daisy Miller’ and ‘The Ambassadors’, display the entanglement between American and European cultures and mentalities. They highlight the differences between the two worlds through following the experiences of American expatriates in Europe.  
 
A prolific author he was able to easily move across genres to create vivid and totally real worlds and situations and to offer sophisticated observations of human relations as well as realistic, social criticism. 
As a critic James was unafraid to venture into reviews and essays of those other literary giants around him.  These together with his short stories and, of course, classic novels, make Henry James an author to be not only admired but read, and read often.  
 
In 1915 Henry James became a British citizen. 
 
On 28th February 1916, at the age of 72, Henry James died in Chelsea, London. 
 
He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912 and 1916. He never won. 
 
In this story James examines the effect that the death of a dearly loved person has on a man’s life.  How he copes, how he grieves and how he attempts to move forward.

    A riveting and raw story of how one woman overcame alcoholism and mental illness and broke free from the genetic blueprint of addiction and abuse that demonized her family for generations. She sets you in a front-row seat as she shares her life story and experiences, which show the strength, determination and courage of how she no longer wanted to continue with this way of life, and how she would do whatever it took to protect her children from being exposed to a life of addiction that is so normalized and influenced within society. Shannan teaches about addiction and the consequences of speaking her truth. She fights past fear, loneliness and judgement to end the inner pain that has haunted her for years, and finds inner peace. Along her path she realizes how life is a spiritual journey and there is a lesson to be learned with every experience, personal encounter and relationship. Most importantly, the lesson is how you have a relationship with yourself, that you have the power to change everything, and it all comes from within.
