James I, James II and the Old Pretender:
James I - is the traditional 19th century novelist using simple and direct style.
James II - (1890-1897) short stories and plays.
The Old Pretender - the magician whose style becomes more complex, experimenting with narrative techniques.
“The Portrait of a Lady” (1881) - a story of a young American woman who brings to Europe her narrow provincionalism but also her free spirit, her refusal to be treated in the Victorian world, merely as a marriageable object.
In the preface to the 1908 edition of the novel, James admitted that it was his intention to focus on the character's inner life by choosing her mind as a setting.
“The Portrait of a Lady”-technique called `stream of consciousness', as it reflects the main character's state of mind and conveys psychological realism.
“Washington Square” (1880) - a thoroughly American novel (both the setting and the characters)
“The Wings of Dove” (1902) - shifting points of view
“The Age of Innocence” “Daisy Miller”
