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.

評分看完瞭書,把坎皮恩的同名電影找齣來重看瞭一遍,有趣的是導演在處理女主角和奧斯濛德的戀情上突齣瞭性的吸引,後者將女兒抱在腿上,手指撫摸女兒的手背給瞭女主很大的刺激,這是個很好玩的視角,因為原著給我的感覺完全是反的,不遠萬裏隨君行的美國追求者反而最有男子氣概,...

Were we born to rot in our misery----were we born to be afraid? i never know you afraid! If you'll only trust me, how little you will be disappointed! The world's all before us---and the world's very big. i know something about that.
評分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
