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.

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！”

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。

每个人为了达到自己的目的都不说真话。只有catherine是唯一说真话的人。你以为的真相，真的是真相吗？
