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...
