James considered ''The Ambassadors'' (1903) his most perfect work of art.  His manly novel ''[[The Bostonians]]'' (1886) is a criticism of the [[feminist]] mindset on a personal level, described by some as the last candid assessment of sexual politics in literature.  A [[liberal]] backlash to the [[conservative]] themes in this magnificent novel hurt James' career, and this book is rarely assigned in [[public school]] curriculum.
