Lord Beaupre (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419131189)

Lord Beaupre is a novel written by the renowned American author, Henry James. The story revolves around the life of Lord Beaupre, a young and wealthy English aristocrat who is faced with a dilemma when he falls in love with a beautiful and charming American woman, Clara Middleton. Although he is deeply in love with her, he is hesitant to propose to her due to the social and cultural differences between their two countries.As the story progresses, Lord Beaupre is torn between his love for Clara and his duty to his family and country. He must decide whether to follow his heart or to adhere to the expectations of his society.The novel explores themes such as love, duty, and social class, and is a poignant commentary on the cultural differences between America and England during the late 19th century. James' writing style is characterized by his intricate and detailed descriptions of the characters and their surroundings, as well as his use of complex sentence structures and vocabulary.Overall, Lord Beaupre is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a fascinating insight into the social and cultural norms of the Victorian era.He himself wanted to cultivate tranquillity, and he felt that he did so the next day in not going again to Chester Street. He went instead to the British Museum, where he sat quite like an elderly gentleman, with his hands crossed on the top of his stick and his eyes fixed on an Assyrian bull. When he came away, however, it was with the resolution to move briskly; so that he walked westward the whole length of Oxford Street and arrived at the Marble Arch.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
