The Sacred Fount

The Sacred Fount

Henry James

The Sacred Fount is a psychological novel by Henry James, first published in 1901. Set during a weekend party in the English countryside, the story follows an unnamed narrator who observes and speculates on the relationships and hidden dynamics among the guests. Notably, it is James's only novel written in the first person, exploring themes of personal transformation and the influence of social interactions on identity. The book has received mixed critical responses and was notably excluded from James's New York Edition.
