Summary
From Boston’s social underworld emerges Verena Tarrant, a girl with extraordinary oratorical gifts, which she deploys in tawdry meeting-houses on behalf of ‘the sisterhood of women.’ She acquires two admirers of a very different stamp: Olive Chancellor, devotee of radical causes, and marked out for tragedy; and Basil Ransom, veteran of the Civil War, with rigid views concerning society and women’s place therein. Is the lovely, lighthearted Verena made for public movements or private passions?…

About The Author
Henry James
Henry James was born on 15th April 1843 in Washington Place, New York to a wealthy and intellectual family. As a youth, he travelled between Europe and America and studied with tutors in Geneva, London, Paris, Bologna, and Bonn. He briefly and unsuccessfully studied law at Harvard but decided he preferred reading and writing fiction. His first novel, Watch and Ward, was published in 1871 after first appearing serially in Atlantic Monthly. After a brief period in Paris, James moved first to London and then later to Rye in Sussex. He became a British citizen in 1915 to declare his loyalty to his adopted country as well as to protest against America’s refusal to enter the war on behalf of Britain. Henry James was a prolific writer and critic and from around 1875 until his death he maintained a strenuous schedule of publications in a variety of genres: novels, short story collections, literary criticism, travel writing, biography, and autobiography. He died in 1916.
