Henry James’s New York
A Walking Tour with Joyce Gold

Join Joyce Gold as she explores the New York City of Henry James and other literary notables in honor of the Mercantile Library Center for Fiction’s Big Read of Washington Square. Greenwich Village is renowned for its high concentration of novelists, poets, playwrights, and writers of detective fiction, short stories, and muckraking exposés. This tour will examine how the vibrant literary community of New York evolved over time and remains one of the world’s most prolific centers of publishing and writing while focusing on New York, and the Village, as Henry James knew it in his time.

This event is co-sponsored by the Merchant’s House Museum.
