About the book

In «Notes on Novelists, with Some Other Notes,» Henry James offers a profound exploration of the intricacies of novel writing, reflecting on the works of his contemporaries while weaving in his astute insights on the craft. James employs a sophisticated literary style, marked by his characteristic attention to detail and psychological nuance, as he dissects the techniques and themes present in the novels of authors like Mark Twain, George Eliot, and Thomas Hardy. Located within the wider context of literary criticism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this work serves both as a homage to the novel form and as an intellectual exercise in understanding the relationship between authorship and narrative form. Henry James, a central figure in the literary landscape of his time, lived through a transformative period for literature.
