THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY is a novel by Henry James, first published as a serial
in The Atlantic Monthly and Macmillan's Magazine in 1880-1881 and then as a book in 1881.
It is the story of a spirited young American woman, Isabel Archer,
who "affronts her destiny" and finds it overwhelming.
She inherits a large amount of money and subsequently becomes the victim of Machiavellian scheming
by two American expatriates. Like many of James' novels,
it is set mostly in Europe, notably England and Italy.
