Criticism has long recognized that, in its amplitude of conception and fineness of execution, The Portrait of a Lady marks a decisive turning-point in the history of Henry James’s early career. In this novel many of the themes and motifs that had slowly evolved in the authors previous work resurface with particular intensity: the probing contrast of trans-Atlantic manners and mores (evident at least as early as “A Passionate Pilgrim” [1871]), the distinctive moral spontaneity of the American heroine (more notoriously embodied in the eponymous “Daisy Miller” [1878]), the deliberate concentration of psychological interest in the novel’s central consciousness (first attempted, manifestly, in Roderick Hudson [1875]). If, as Emerson famously said of Whitman’s Leaves of Grass as published in 1855, the work must have had a long foreground somewhere, [1] the foreground of The Portrait of a Lady can be discerned, at least in part, in many of James’s earlier (and less celebrated) experiments in fiction.

With an Introduction and Notes by Lionel Kelly, Senior Lecturer in English, University of Reading. Transplanted to Europe from her native America, Isabel Archer has candour, beauty, intelligence, an independent spirit and a marked enthusiasm for life. An unexpected inheritance apparently gives her freedom, but despite all her natural advantages she makes one disastrous error of judgement and the result is genuinely tragic. Her tale, told with James' inimitable poise, is of the widest relevance. 'The phase when his (Henry James') genius functioned with the freest and fullest vitality is represented by The Portrait of a Lady'. (F.R. LEAVIS)
