About this book
Henry James's interesting work "The Question of Our Speech" was first published in 1905. The book is an anthology of two lectures, one of which is devoted to the English language and covers its history, usage, and social implications. A thorough analysis of the writings of well-known French novelist Honoré de Balzac is covered in the second session.
In this work, James (who is renowned for his graceful and perceptive portrayals of Victorian society) subtly examines topics of sexual inhibition, class, and psychological suffering. Anyone interested in language, literature, or sociological observations should read this book.
