Why did Henry James move from Paris to London in 1876?

Henry James moved from Paris to London in late 1876 primarily because he felt he would remain an "eternal outsider" in France, despite his appreciation for the country and his associations with prominent French literary figures like Ivan Turgenev and Gustave Flaubert.1

While he had spent 1875–76 in Paris writing for the New York Tribune and working on his novel The American, the sense of social alienation prompted his relocation to England. Once in London, James quickly integrated into British society, becoming a regular at the breakfasts of Lord Houghton and establishing himself as a significant figure in Anglo-American literary circles.1
