Introduction and Notes by Ian F.A. Bell. Professor of English Literature. University of Keele Washington Square marks the culmination of James's apprentice period as a novelist. With sharply focused attention upon just four principal characters, James provides an acute analysis of middle-class manners and behaviour in the New York of the 1870s, a period of great change in the life of the city. This change is explored through the device of setting the novel's action during the 1840s, similarly a period of considerable turbulence as the United States experienced the onset of rapid commercial and industrial expansion. Through the relationships between Austin Sloper, a celebrated physician, and his sister Lavinia Penniman, his daughter Catherine, and Catherine's suitor, Morris Townsend, James observes the contemporary scene as a site of competing styles and performances where authentic expression cannot be articulated or is subject to suppression.
FINALLY... Onto the next one or I really can't watch the next episode= =
评分A simple love tragedy, but Henry James provided exceptionally smart insights into most trivial details, which made this book a lovely reinterpretation of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility".
评分很多生词,看得似懂非懂。Sophie 黄小姐借我书多年,终于看完。
评分三星半。其实换到现在就是豆瓣直播贴之类,苦情女成为金不换女战士。
评分副标题:如何在英语语境下表达-->“你冷酷,你无情,你无理取闹。”“你才冷酷!你才无情!你才无理取闹!”
