Introduction

BBC Radio 4 will be exploring the work of 19th and early 20th century Anglo-American author Henry James. Alongside dramatizations of several of his novels, there will be a documentary on James,. co-presented by Professor Sarah Churchwell of the School of Advanced Studies. The great discovery that Henry James made about women, which made him such an interesting male writer about women, is that he realized that women are probably just like men; they don't think very differently.
