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.

评分It was the man who had been everything, and yet this person was nothing.
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".
评分感觉是暗黑版的半生缘,Henry James有一种把狗血故事包装高级的魔力,明明是一个猎金男倒贴追富家女的故事,他却讲得有层次有深度,小说里依稀看得到贵妇画像和鸽翼的影子:那些欲说还休的感情,那些朦胧暧昧的状态。James的小说总是提出问题,等待读者去解决,所有的答案既在小说里也不在小说里,如人饮水,冷暖自知。
