Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Tragic Muse" by Henry James is a novel published in 1890. Nick Dormer abandons his promising political career to pursue painting, while Miriam Rooth struggles to become a great actress. Their artistic ambitions clash with romantic expectations and family obligations. Nick's relationship with the politically ambitious Julia Dallow unravels, while diplomat Peter Sherringham falls hopelessly in love with the charismatic Miriam. Set against English society and the theatrical world, this sprawling tale explores the price of artistic dedication and the conflicts between personal passion and conventional success.
