[edit] AMERICAN

Henry James' third novel is an exploration of his most powerful perennial theme - the clash between European and American cultures, the old world and the new. This study edition contains both the text and a commentary upon it.

First published in 1877, and dramatised by James himself 11 years later, the novel is concerned with the contrast between American and European social codes.The central protagonist is a wealthy American who falls in love with a widow of noble birth while on a trip to Paris. He supports her brother, but the rest of the family discourage his courtship of Claire but he persists until his proposalis accepted; unfortunately this only marks the beginning of his troubles.
