THE TURN OF THE SCREW is the greatest and most subtle of all English-language ghost stories. H.P. Lovecraft praised its "truly potent air of sinister menace" and "mounting tide of fright" and subsequent critics have argued long and hard over the central "problem" of the story: if the motifs of the traditional ghost story, in the hands of a master, are used to probe the deepest depths of the human psyche, do the resultant terrors spring from the objective return of the spirits of the dead, or from the fears, memories, and guilt the expectation of such apparitions may evoke? Are there any ghosts in this story at all? James himself might have been puzzled by that question. His own remarks make it clear that what he had in mind was a "sinister romance," inspired by a ghostly story he had heard from an Archbishop of Canterbury. He wrote of the "portentous evil" of the "demon-spirits" in the story, but it was his genius to make them so profoundly mysterious that THE TURN OF THE SCREW will survive any number of interpretations, and go on to chill and delight readers for centuries to come. THE TURN OF THE SCREW was memorably filmed as THE INNOCENTS (1961), arguably the finest cinematic ghost story of all time.

遭遇非现实 ——关于《螺丝在拧紧》 亨利•詹姆斯的小说《螺丝在拧紧》中有这样一个情节：场景是在湖边，女学生弗洛拉在一旁玩耍，家庭女教师——也就是小说中的叙述者——在陪伴着她的同时做着针线活。在一阵让人浑身颤抖的直觉的痉挛中，女教师相信在湖的对岸有一个鬼魂正...

Too many adverbial modifiers, too much fussy meditation and ambiguous reflection and overdone clumsy suspenses. Don't see why it's among James' well-received works. I side with critics who consider the narrator insane...
