Originally released in 1875 as a serial within the Atlantic Regular, "Roderick Hudson" is a bildungsroman that traces the development of the title persona, a sculptor. "Roderick Hudson" is James's first important novel. The theme of Americans in Europe, so important in a lot of James's work, is already central to the story.
Hudson is a law learner in Northampton, Massachusetts, who shows such astonishing capability as a sculptor that the wealthy Rowland Mallett, visiting a cousin in Northampton, makes a decision to stake him to many years of analysis in Rome, then a center of expatriate American society. The story must do not only with Roderick's development as an musician and the issues it brings, but also as a guy vunerable to his new environment, and even his occasional rivalries along with his American friend and patron.
