Tras dos estancias en Europa, Henry James (Nueva York, 1843 –Sussex, Inglaterra, 1916) publicó en 1875, su primera novela, Roderick Hudston. Más tarde, vivió durante dos años en París, donse conoció a alagunos de los grandes maestros europeos de la época (Turgenev, Flaubert y Zola), que influyeron decisivamente en su estilo. En 1876, tras escribir El americano, se estableció en Inglaterra, donde publicó sus obras más conocidas: Daisy Miller (1879), Washington Square (1880), El sitio de Londres (1883), Los papeles de Aspern (1888), Lo que Maisie sabía (1897) y Otra vuelta de tuerca (1898), en las que demostró su habilidad para mostrar la lucha entre deseo y convención, y aportó una visión crítica de la moral americana. Para muchos Henry James es el precursor de la novela psicológica moderna y la principal influencia de autores tan importantes como James Joyce o Virginia Woolf
