«The Europeans» is a novel by Henry James, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (176 pages, in English).
Eugenia, an American raised in Europe and the morganatic wife of a German prince, travels to New England with her brother Felix, an artist, to meet their Wentworth cousins. She hopes to secure an advantageous marriage, but her European sophistication clashes with the family's Puritan morals. The novel portrays this encounter between two worlds with irony.
It is Henry James's fourth novel, originally published in 1878. This edition dates from 1973. The cover reproduces a detail from 'Croquet Scene', by Winslow Homer.
It is aimed at readers of classics and nineteenth-century literary fiction, particularly those interested in Henry James.
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.
