About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Outcry by Henry James. Read in English by Linda Johnson; Jim Locke The story concerns the contemplated sale of a famous painting by a proud but relatively cash-strapped British aristocrat to a wealthy American art collector who is bent on buying up treasured masterpieces from the Old World, and the patriotic outcry after the public gets wind of his intent. The matter is further complicated by the strong resistance put up by his younger daughter and her blunt-spoken, art critic friend against the sale. - Summary by shih-ping
