Madame de Mauves
Published in 1874, 'Madame de Mauves' is an early work by Henry James that explores themes of cultural contrast and personal disillusionment. The novel follows Euphemia Cleve, an American woman who marries the impoverished French aristocrat Baron de Mauves, as seen through the eyes of her fellow American, Longmore. This narrative examines the clash between American idealism and French realism, questioning the nature of happiness and fulfillment in marriage. It is notable for being the first in James's series of 'international contrasts.'
