| Description: |
In this beautifully written, eye-opening biography, Lyndall Gordon, author of "Charlotte Bronte: A Passionate Life", provides a remarkable portrait of two strongly individual women and their lasting influence on Henry James. Photos. |
| Synopsis: |
Henry James's cousin, Minny Temple, was the "heroine" of his youth in New England; he saw her as a free spirit, "a plant of pure American growth". The writer Constance Fenimore Woolson was a friend of his middle years in Europe, a solitary, mature woman who pursued her ambitions with an intensity that matched his own. Both had an extraordinary impact on James, even (perhaps especially) in the wakes of their premature deaths. |
