Portrait of a Lady is one of the great novels of the 19th century, written by Henry James. The protagonist, Isabel Archer, is a young American woman who receives a considerable inheritance and decides to travel through Europe. Despite family pressures to marry, Isabel defends her independence, until events take an unexpected turn. The novel explores themes of freedom, autonomy, and the search for one's own identity in a world full of social conventions.
Henry James was an American-British author. He is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. He was the son of theologian Henry James Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.
