A London Life
by Henry James
paperback in used condition
A London Life, in the words of Rebecca West, renders beautifully the feeling caused by ill-lives led in homes of elmy parks and honorable histories. Here James depicts in his imitable style the decline of the English aristocracy, its debts and infidelities, and its corrupting power upon the emotions of the people caught in its web. It is a superb story of English society in decay, and the forces which propel its members to tragedy.
James tells us that for this tale of scandal among the English aristocracy he needed a necessary candid outsider who is faced horribly and unexpectedly with a decision to make and a definite action to take. For this role he chose Laura, the very petty and very honest young American girl, who is spending a season with her dashing sister in England.
