The Turn of the Screw

Henry James, OM, son of theologian Henry James Sr., brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James, was an American-born author, one of the founders and leaders of a school of realism in fiction. He spent much of his life in England and became a British subject shortly before his death. He is primarily known for a series of major novels in which he portrayed the encounter of America with Europe. His plots centered on personal relationships, the proper exercise of power in such relationships, and other moral questions. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allowed him to explore the phenomena of consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting.James insisted that writers in Great Britain and America should be allowed the greatest freedom possible in presenting their view of the world, as French authors were. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators in his own novels and tales brought a new depth and interest to realistic fiction, and foreshadowed the modernist work of the twentieth century. An extraordinarily productive writer, in addition to his voluminous works of fiction he published articles and books of travel writing, biography, autobiography, and criticism,and wrote plays, some of which were performed during his lifetime with moderate success. His theatrical work is thought to have profoundly influenced his later novels and tales.

读后感

《螺丝在拧紧》是一篇著名哥特小说的名字。以此标题为文集题目，国内出了个哥特中短篇小说的集子。 这本文集的序言告诉我们，哥特小说最流行的时候应该是上个世纪了。它诞生于十八世纪中叶，是一种风格独特的小说题材。“这种小说通常以古堡，废墟或荒野为背景，故事往往发生在...  

《螺丝在拧紧》的魅力在于1形式结构上：独特的叙事视角：近乎全篇女教师这个不可靠的叙事者，“疯子”的言语总是半真半假，虽然这是回忆，但几乎没有任何反思性的介入和作者客观介入；女教师在寻找真相，读者从女教师寻找真相过程中也在寻找真相，这完美的互相映照；开头引文真...  

《螺丝在拧紧》是美国作家亨利•詹姆斯的一篇名作，据说是哥特小说的代表作，讲了一个匪夷所思的故事。初看这个书名，还以为是一部技术工具书，其实它只是一种寓意，让人恐惧的故事就象不断拧紧的螺丝，越来越紧，到尽头之前只能朝一个方向发展，以形象紧张程度的上升。 故...

这是一本心理恐怖小说：闹鬼的故事。 早在6、7年前，我就在图书馆翻过本书，04年的人民文学版。由于时间关系，只对书名很有印象，最终也没读成。这次出了新版，感谢多看赠阅，又让我想起这部“The Turn of the Screw”。 鉴于本书情节比较离奇，对其表达意图的解读也很多，在此...

过

这个叙述方式真是让人头疼。因为读起来太费时了所以这故事一点都不可怕...加上因为年代久远而造成的脱离感，其实并不能感受到所谓的evil之类的， 就还好。

这是什么结局。。。

这是什么结局。。。

不得不说，HJ真的是大师！！什么题材都得心应手。这本哥特小说看的我吓死了，一开始对结局不太明白，但后来又回头看了一下引子，一切都明显如水了。那个女教师显然是扭曲的爱上了一个仅有十岁的小男孩，强烈的占有欲和精神疾病使她最后将孩子杀死。
