The Sense of Newport

By Henry James

Widely regarded as one of the key figures in late 19th century American literary realism, Henry James (1843-1916) was the writer of such classic novels as WASHINGTON SQUARE, A TURN OF THE SCREW, DAISY MILLER, THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY and THE AMBASSADORS. In THE SENSE OF NEWPORT, written 1906, he reveals a great nostalgia for Rhode Island's famous "city by the sea" while also exhibiting a profound distaste over the city's development as a playground for the super-rich of the Gildled Age. As always, James's writing is cunning, measured and shrewd, and his assessments unfailingly sound. In all THE SENSE OF NEWPORT represents one of the most important assessments ever written viz this fascinating resort community.
