"The Outcry" by Henry James is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set within the context of British high society, the book introduces the complexities of social dynamics, relationships, and the interplay of wealth and status. The characters include Lady Sandgate, a sophisticated modern woman grappling with societal expectations, and Lord John, a member of the aristocracy who navigates his affections amidst familial pressures. The opening of "The Outcry" establishes a rich social setting at Dedborough Place, where guests are gathered for a school feast. Conversations weave through themes of duty, social commentary, and personal aspirations, introducing characters such as Lady Sandgate and Lord John, who engage in witty exchanges that reveal their personalities and motives. As they discuss their lives, relationships, and various pressures—particularly those related to family and societal expectations—the groundwork is laid for a narrative that explores the nuances of desire and ambition against a backdrop of traditional values and modern discontent.
