Question ID: 166242
In Chapter X of Henry James's "The American", he makes reference to
"Princess Borealska".  I can find no other reference to her.  Do we
know whether she was an historical figure, or merely a literary
character?

Hi charles_hewitt-ga,

I have done searches on many search engines namely:
Fast
Google
Alta vista
Yahoo
Hotbot
Toema
Overture
Web Directory
Alltheweb
Ask Jeeves
Excite
AOL Anywhere
etc.


and I am afraid to say that she is just merely a literary character.
