Henry James was particularly interested in the short narrative form of fiction and produced dozens of what he called the "beautiful and blest nouvelle". Originally published in English Illustrated Magazine in 1884, The Author of Beltraffio is the macabre account of the demise of an isolated and troubled English family told through the eyes of a somewhat naive American narrator.
