Henry James conceived the character of Hyacinth Robinson—his ''little presumptuous adventurer with his combination of intrinsic fineness and fortuitous adversity''—while walking the streets of London. Brought up in poverty, Hyacinth has nevertheless developed aesthetic tastes that heighten his awareness of the sordid misery around him. He is drawn into the secret world of revolutionary politics and, in a moment of fervour, makes a vow that he will assassinate a major political figure.
