About

Tragic Muse Synopsis

Henry James (1843-1916) was an American-born English writer whose novels, short stories and letters established the foundation of the modernist movement in twentieth century fiction and poetry. His career, one of the most significant and influential in English literature, spanned over five decades and resulted in a body of work that has had a profound impact on generations of writers. "e;The Tragic Muse"e;, although loved by James admirers, hasn't reached the same level of acclaim as some of his earlier novels.

The charming and witty story of two would-be artists, both looking for inspiration in spite of society's emphasis on material success, is a provocative look at the role of the artist in society. Nick Dormer, an aspiring painter, must decide whether or not to fulfill his family legacy in British politics with the help of his "e;tragic muse"e;, a young actress named Miram Rooth. Miriam has been noted as one the most fascinating and lively characters in James' work.
