Book Description
He is best known for a number of novels showing Americans encountering Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from a character's point of view allowed him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators brought a new depth to narrative fiction.

Book Description
Un joven critico y editor fascinado con la obra del difunto poeta Jeffrey Aspern se entera de que Juliana Bordereau, una de sus musas, vive aun, anciana y aislada, en un palazzo veneciano. Convencido de que conserva cartas y material inedito del poeta, se acerca a ella camuflando sus intenciones y consigue que lo acepte como inquilino. El joven se introduce en un mundo agonico y fantasmagorico, volcado en el recuerdo, que la orgullosa anciana habita con la unica compania de una sobrina suya, una mujer ya madura que no parece haber conocido otra cosa que la reclusion y el legado de un esplendor desaparecido."

Book Description
In "The Aspern Papers," an unnamed American editor rents a room in Venice in the home of Juliana Bordereau, the elderly mistress of Jeffrey Aspern, a deceased Romantic poet, in order to procure from her the poet's papers. Bordereau, a stingy, domineering woman, lives with her timid middle-aged niece, Tina. (The niece was named Tita until James revised the text in 1908.) The manipulative editor, obsessed with possessing the Aspern papers, exhibits progressively unscrupulous behaviour, such as assuming an alias, making false romantic overtures to Tina, and attempting burglary. When Bordereau dies, Tina offers the editor the coveted documents on the condition that he marry her. He initially refuses but returns to negotiate, only to find that Tina, in a display of newfound dignity, has burned the papers.The novelette was inspired by an actual incident involving Claire Clairmont, once the mistress of Lord Byron.
