The Outcry, Henry James's final novel, is an effervescent comedy of money and manners. The storyline concerns the buying up of Britain's art treasures by wealthy Americans. "The subject...has been handled with ingenuity, not without humor, with a fine effect of sharpness and perspicacity. That is Mr. James’s way. There are many fine phrases, crisply expressive, admirable flashes" (The New York Times).
