In an age restless for noise, The Henry James Library proposes a quieter intimacy: the patient unfolding of great novels, read in full and allowed the dignity of their own tempo. Here the listener crosses thresholds into drawing rooms, consciences, and those delicate moral climates where a glance may signify more than a confession. Each episode invites you not merely to hear a story, but to inhabit a sensibility: transatlantic, observant, and alive to the subtleties of motive and misapprehension.

You will find a space shaped by attention, by voice, and by the peculiar pleasure of lingering with a sentence until it reveals its secret. This is a place where Henry James’s world may be entered patiently, one page at a time.Public domain
