The Death of the Lion
The Death of the Lion is an 1894 story by Henry James (1843-1916), the American-British master of the novel and tale. A sharp, comic-melancholy satire of literary celebrity, it follows a devoted young journalist trying to protect a great neglected writer from the fashionable world that lionises without reading him. First published in The Yellow Book, it is among James’s finest treatments of the writer’s life. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
