Henry James : The Outcry before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Outcry:

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Witty and pointed expose of a vanished worldBy M. J. KaneIt's a pity this book has not been dramatised as it was originally written as a play. The style of writing is awkward and takes a little getting into but once 'in' is a sharp and witty review of the way in which landed families at the start of the 20th Century were urgently selling off their 'treasures' to pay for their lifestyle and estates.Enter millionaire Breckenridge who is vociferous in his quest for works af art on the one hand and a young English connoisseur who views the whole process with distaste and is fighting to keep such works for the nation. Throw in a love triangle and the story starts to take on comic as well as serious dimensions.The novel is a bit of a cross between E M Forster and Oscar Wilde with witty dialogue and sharp social observation.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Those Rich Americans - Oh my!By K. Conklinfrom my goodreads review: I should love to be a fly on the wall to observe a classroom of modern students attempting to decipher some of the convoluted sentences which make up this work. It was great fun for me to read, but what would kids who use abbreviations for texting make of it? I do think it would be of benefit for them to study not only for the translation but the exploration of what transpired with regard to purchases of art held by English families for generations (vs donations to National Gallery).1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A bit of lively action and a lot of lively conversationBy Loving G-maThis light-hearted novel is developed a long the lines of a pleasantly contrived piece of drawing-room comedy. The plot centers on the interactions between the stalwart protectors of Britain's art treasures faced with the pillaging ambitions of dollar- powered predators from abroad. Clever satirical barbs are directed wherever deserved among the various characters, drawn principally from polite society.Henry James' masterful prose style is a main ingredient, with ample servings of those paragraph-length sentences in which every pronoun and verb is correct and in its proper place. Some of those conversations, however, are exceedingly long-winded and just a tad boring and repetitive.

The Outcry

From Library JournalIn (1896), James presents a man who is sought after by three women. He attempts to please them all but in so doing sacrifices his relationship with his young daughter. The Outcry (1911) is James's last novel and long unavailable. He pokes fun at the upper crust in the form of both a wealthy American scouring England for art and a down-on-his-luck British lord looking to separate the Yank from as much of his cash as possible. Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. "The story is told with all Mr. James’ delicate humor and gift for keen analysis." —Booklist"The subject…has been handled with ingenuity, not without humor, with a fine effect of sharpness and perspicacity. That is Mr. James’s way. There are many fine phrases, crisply expressive, admirable flashes." —The New York Times"If you thought you knew all the books of Henry James, think again— this one, James’ last, is largely unknown because it’s been out of print since its original publication in 1911. God knows why, though — it’s a delightful, surprisingly light-hearted take on James’ favorite topic, the clash of cultures…" —mobylives.comAbout the AuthorHenry James (15 April 1843 – 28 February 1916) was an American-born writer, regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism.
