Henry James (1843-1916) born in New York and later emigrated to England. There James attended schools in both Switzerland, France and then later on attended Harvard Law School. James has been vocal about his preference of Europe over the United States in regards to education and politics. James is known as a literary critic and novelist, with his most famous novel being The Turn of the Screw. The Turn of the Screw was published in 1898, and it was James' fascination with psychology and complex characters that led him to the development of this novel. The Gale Literature Resource Center’s biography of Henry James explains how James used the novel to dissect characters’ complex and aberrant personalities. For example, it was within his novel The Turn of the Screw that James was able to use the novel's plot to format his work specifically on a ghost story that strictly focuses on psychological development.
