James Henry The Portrait of a Lady
Regarded by many as Henry James's finest work, and a lucid tragedy exploring the distance between money and happiness, The Portrait of a Lady contains an introduction by Philip Horne in Penguin Classics. When Isabel Archer, a beautiful, spirited American, is brought to Europe by her wealthy aunt Touchett, it is expected that she will soon marry. But Isabel, resolved to enjoy the freedom that her fortune has opened up and to determine her own fate, does not hesitate to turn down two eligible suitors. Then she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Gilbert Osmond. Charming and cultivated, Osmond sees Isabel as a rich prize waiting to be taken. Beneath his veneer of civilized behaviour, Isabel discovers cruelty and a stifling darkness. In this portrait of a 'young woman affronting her destiny', Henry James created one of his most magnificent heroines, and a story of intense poignancy.

It also contains a chronology, further reading, notes and an introduction by Philip Horne.

James Henry The Portrait Of A Lady
Described by F. R. Leavis as one of the two most brilliant novels in the language, The Portrait of a Lady marks the evolution of Henry James from talented American writer to world-class novelist. The 'lady' of the title is Isabel Archer, a beautiful, intelligent and headstrong American heiress embarked on a treacherous journey to self-knowledge amid the ravishingly rendered landscapes of England and Italy. But it is the characters she encounters who make the story so masterly: the good Lord Warburton and the evil Gilbert Osmond, between whom she hesitates, her candid American friends, and above all the witch-like Madame Merle with whom she does battle for her soul. All are magnificently drawn, and none more so than Isabel herself, who belongs with Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina among the supreme creations of European fiction. James wrote many more masterpieces but he never surpassed the display of sheer genius we find in The Portrait of a Lady.

Joyce James A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Playful and experimental, James Joyce's autobiographical A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a vivid portrayal of emotional and intellectual development. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is edited with an introduction and notes by Seamus Deane. The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to fully come into themselves. James Joyce (1882-1941), the eldest of ten children, was born in Dublin, but exiled himself to Paris at twenty as a rebellion against his upbringing. He only returned to Ireland briefly from the continent but Dublin was at heart of his greatest works, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. He lived in poverty until the last ten years of his life and was plagued by near blindness and the grief of his daughter's mental illness.
