'Spring was already in the air, in the town; there was no rain but there was still less sun - one wondered what had become of it, on this side of the world - and the grey mildness, shading away into black at any pretext, appeared in itself a promise.' Henry James left America for England in 1876 and remained in his adopted country for the next three decades. Arriving in Liverpool, he made his way first to London, the 'dreadful, delightful city', which he would come to both love and hate. James revelled in the exoticism and immensity of all that was unknown to him and his writing spills over with youthful excitement, humour and vivid descriptions of the people, landscapes, towns and cities he encountered. In London, he marvelled at the architecture of Christopher Wren and the glamour of the Strand and observed with equal pleasure the seedier parts of the city, where gin shops glowed on the corners of dark alleys. He later set out to explore the English countryside: Chester, Warwick, Devon, Wells, Salisbury, Suffolk and Rye, where he eventually settled, bought Lamb House and wrote prolifically - producing some of his finest works, including What Maisie Knew, The Wings of the Dove, The Golden Bowl and The Middle Years. First published in 1905, English Hours is one of Henry James' most loved works of travel and a now-classic portrait of England by one of the great masters of 19th century literature.

評分書中的描寫風景是上上個世紀的英國，很讓人嚮往。想象著自己是作者在英國的村莊和倫敦中穿過，感受從書中傳來的那種英倫風景，無論是那古老教堂的幽深還是皮迪卡利的繁華，無論是熱鬧的還是寂靜的都深深的吸引著我。文字間傳遞來的復古和時尚都讓人對這塊土地愛的深沉。
評分同是亨利詹姆斯的書，法國掠影讀來令人心曠神怡，這本書卻看不下去。到底是因為英國就是這樣令人厭倦，讓作者都無法寫得有趣點，還是翻譯的問題呢？sign
