"e;The Portrait of a Lady"e; was, like "e;Roderick Hudson,"e; begun in Florence,   during three months spent there in the spring of 1879. Like "e;Roderick"e;   and like "e;The American,"e; it had been designed for publication in "e;The   Atlantic Monthly,"e; where it began to appear in 1880. It differed from   its two predecessors, however, in finding a course also open to it, from   month to month, in "e;Macmillan's Magazine"e;; which was to be for me one of   the last occasions of simultaneous "e;serialisation"e; in the two countries   that the changing conditions of literary intercourse between England and   the United States had up to then left unaltered. It is a long novel, and   I was long in writing it; I remember being again much occupied with it,   the following year, during a stay of several weeks made in Venice. I had   rooms on Riva Schiavoni, at the top of a house near the passage leading   off to San Zaccaria; the waterside life, the wondrous lagoon spread   before me, and the ceaseless human chatter of Venice came in at my   windows, to which I seem to myself to have been constantly driven, in   the fruitless fidget of composition, as if to see whether, out in the   blue channel, the ship of some right suggestion, of some better phrase,   of the next happy twist of my subject, the next true touch for my   canvas, mightn't come into sight. But I recall vividly enough that the   response most elicited, in general, to these restless appeals was the   rather grim admonition that romantic and historic sites, such as   the land of Italy abounds in, offer the artist a questionable aid to   concentration when they themselves are not to be the subject of it. They   are too rich in their own life and too charged with their own meanings   merely to help him out with a lame phrase; they draw him away from his   small question to their own greater ones; so that, after a little, he   feels, while thus yearning toward them in his difficulty, as if he were   asking an army of glorious veterans to help him to arrest a peddler who   has given him the wrong change
