About This Item

IDB Productions, 2017-01-01. MP3 CD. New. The Awkward Age is a story first distributed as a series in Harper's Weekly in 1898-1899 and later as a novel in 1899. Firstly thought of as a short, subtle tale of the complexities made in her family's social life fixed by a young lass about to become an adult, the tale broadened into an overall dealing of debauchery and profligacy in English end of the century life. Henry stages the book about wholly in discourse, a test that intensifies to the contiguity of the acts but also made staid vagueness of characters and their purposes. </br></br>Henry James, OM was a U. S. born British novelist. He is considered as among the leading characters of 19th century literary pragmatism. He was the son of Henry James, Sr. and the brother of philosopher and doctor of psychology William James and memoir writer Alice James. </br></br>He is greatly remembered for several books exposing Americans coming across Europe and Europeans. His style of composing from a character's perspective granted him to discover matters connected to awareness and observation, and his method in succeeding novels has been likened to impressionist canvas. His inventive use of perception, internal prologue and untrustworthy narrators took a new complexity to narrative literature. </br></br>Henry shared expressively to literary reproach, specifically in his contention that authors be permitted the best probable liberty in familiarizing their insight of the universe. Henry asserted that a book must first be truthful and includes a portrayal of existence that is identifiable to its bookworms. The greatest stories, to Henry, reveal life in exploit and are, most significantly, motivating. </br></br>Additionally, his extensive books included articles and travel memoirs, biography, autobiography, and criticism, and composed dramas.

Synopsis

Making her debut in London society, Nanda Brookenham is being groomed for the marriage market. Thrust suddenly into the superficial and immoral circle that surrounds her mother, the innocent but independent-minded young woman even finds herself in competition with Mrs Brookenham for the affection of the man she admires. Only an elderly bachelor, Mr Longdon, is immune to this world of greed and scheming, and determines to rescue Nanda from its corrupting influences out of loyalty to the deep love he once felt for her grandmother. In The Awkward Age (1899), Henry James explores the English character, and the clash between old and new money with a light and subtly ironic touch to create a devastating critique of society and its machinations.
