English Hours by Henry James
"English Hours" by Henry James is a collection of travel essays published in 1905. Drawing from more than thirty years of writing about England, James chronicles his experiences in his adopted country, from London's "greasy" streets to the pastoral countryside of Devon, Warwickshire, and Suffolk. With knowing affection, he captures both the "dreadful, delightful" British capital and the quiet charms of rural towns like Rye, offering readers an intimate portrait of Victorian
and Edwardian England through American eyes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
