"The Outcry" is a novel written by British author Henry James, first published in 1911. The story revolves around the sale of a famous piece of artwork, a Renaissance masterpiece, to an American collector, Breckenridge Bender. The transaction sparks controversy and moral dilemmas among the British upper class, particularly Lady Sandgate and her circle, who feel conflicted about selling a cherished cultural treasure to an outsider. As tensions rise and societal expectations clash with personal interests, the characters navigate themes of art, money, social status, and cultural identity. James' narrative delves into the complexities of human nature and the intricacies of social etiquette, offering readers a nuanced exploration of the intersection between art and commerce in early 20th-century England. "The Outcry" is a compelling examination of the values and anxieties of the Edwardian era, rendered with James' characteristic wit and insight.
