«The Lesson of the Master» is the short novel by Henry James, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (96 pages, in English).
The young writer Paul Overt finds in the celebrated novelist Henry St. George a master who shows him renunciation as a path to literary greatness. St. George, by contrast, has renounced his own art for a comfortable life, and that contradiction leads Overt to wonder what literature truly demands.
The work was originally published in 1888; this edition belongs to the Penguin 60s Classics collection.
For readers of classics and nineteenth-century fiction, especially those seeking a brief piece by 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.
