Volume : II, Issue : IX, October - 2012 “A Comparative Study Of Cultures In The Portrait Of A Lady.” Vidya S.Wagh Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : For Henry James the prime concern of the novelist is to focus on the real
problems of an emerging nation - the problem of national identity. So, he turned to the
moral and psychological problems of America and attempted to analyze and project
them against the background of Europe. For him his Americans were naïve, innocents
confronting a complex and often corrupt established society. So he wanted to examine
carefully American's national identity and international role in the late Nineteenth
Century – e.g. By his portrait of one young American Lady – “Isabel Archur.”In a word
she is too perfect social animal who is connected with every incident and character of the
novel. Through the study of her character, the novelist depicts the culture of both
countries – America and Europe. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Vidya S.Wagh, (2012). “A Comparative Study Of Cultures In The Portrait Of A Lady.”.
