Henry James,R.W.B. Lewis
To read a story by Henry James is to enter a fully realized world unlike any otherâ€”a rich, perfectly crafted domain of vivid language and splendid, complex characters. Devious children, sparring lovers, capricious American girls, obtuse bachelors, sibylline spinsters, and charming Europeans populate these five fascinating ,nouvelles,, which represent the author in both his early and late phases. From the apparitions of evil that haunt the governess in â€œThe Turn of the Screwâ€ to the startling self-scrutiny of an egotistical man in â€œThe Beast in the Jungle,â€ the mysterious turnings of human behavior are coolly and masterfully observedâ€”proving Henry James to be a master of psychological insight as well as one of the finest prose stylists of modern English literature.,Includes â€œThe Turn of the Screwâ€ â€¢ ,Daisy Miller , â€¢ ,Washington Square, â€¢ â€œThe Beast in the Jungleâ€ â€¢ â€œThe Jolly Cornerâ€
