Description
Born in Dublin and classically educated at Trinity College, James Henry (1798-1876) practised as a doctor for more than twenty years before an inheritance enabled him to focus on the textual study of Virgil's Aeneid. Travelling extensively across Europe, Henry conferred with eminent scholars and consulted numerous manuscripts. His early findings (also reissued in this series) first appeared in 1853. After the death of his wife, he was accompanied and assisted by his sole surviving daughter, Katherine Olivia, who would also predecease him, three years after their final return to Ireland in 1869. Published between 1873 and 1892, this monumental commentary was seen through the press by colleagues following Henry's own death. Reflecting its author's passion and personality, the work remains a landmark in Virgilian scholarship, both celebrated and critiqued for its original and challenging approach. This third volume, covering Books V-IX, appeared in 1889.

Person
James Henry is a master of psychological suspense, weaving tales of betrayal and hidden truths against the moody backdrop of England's south coast. Born in a small seaside town near Brighton, Henry grew up haunted by the sea's whispers and the secrets of its tides, inspirations that pulse through his debut novel, The Tide Keeper. A former journalist with a knack for uncovering buried stories, he traded newsrooms for fiction to explore the darker corners of human nature. His writing, often compared to Freida McFadden and Ruth Ware, blends taut narratives with unforgettable twists, earning praise for its atmospheric depth.
Henry lives in Brighton, where the pier's flickering lights and foggy dawns fuel his imagination. When not writing, he's combing local archives for forgotten lore or sipping coffee in bookshops, chasing the next spark for his stories. The Tide Keeper, a gripping thriller about a bookshop owner unraveling a decades-old cult mystery, marks his entry into the genre, with readers eagerly awaiting his next work.
