Capturing the grandeur of a gracious, splendid Europe of wealth and Old World sensibilities, this glorious, complex novel has become a touchstone for a great writer’s entire literary achievement. From the opening pages, when the high-spirited American girl Isabel Archer arrives at the English manor Gardencourt, James’s luminous, superbly crafted prose creates an atmosphere of intensity, expectation, and incomparable beauty.
Isabel, who has been taken abroad by an eccentric aunt to fulfill her potential, attracts the passions of a British aristocrat and a brash American, as well as the secret adoration of her invalid cousin, Ralph Touchett. But her vulnerability and innocence lead her not to love but to a fatal entrapment in intrigue, deception, and betrayal. This brilliant interior drama of the forming of a woman’s consciousness makes The Portrait of a Lady a masterpiece of James’s middle years.

評分 評分 評分 評分已經把書還瞭,但是所有情節都在我腦海裏恣意伸展。第一次發現,用心去讀一本心理描寫豐富的外國小說是如此愜意如此滌蕩心靈的曆程。亨利詹姆斯愛用大段的景物烘托,愛花大量筆墨去勾勒人物內心活動,愛置身事外評論他筆下的人物……這些都是從前見瞭外國作品就繞道而行...

It's in the setting of gloomy Rome that the nobleness in Isabel shines. In Gardencourt, she is too stereotypical to be lovable.

評分唯一比維多利亞小說強的地方就是人物和關係更加subtle而不過於明晰 除此之外基本沒有亮點 對Isabel不同階段間的轉變寫的不太清楚 對幾個男suitors的刻畫也不太飽滿 Madame Merle的戲完全可以更足。總之就是各方麵都欠
