The Turn of the Screw and Other Short Fiction by Henry James

VINTAGE PAPERBACK [1981] BANTAM CLASSICS 

Book is in great shape.   note- *a few pages of bracketed passages in "the Beast in the Jungle" section.  Otherwise reads perfectly. Mild ring-stain on rear cover.

To read a story by Henry James is to enter a world - a rich, perfectly crafted domain of vivid language and splendid, complex characters. Devious children, sparring lovers, capricious American girls, obtuse bachelors, sibylline spinsters and charming Europeans populate these five fascinating nouvelles - works which represent the author in both his early and late phases.

From the apparitions of evil that haunt the governess in The Turn Of The Screw to the startling self-scrutiny of an egotistical man in The Beast In The Jungle, the mysterious turnings of human behavior are skillfully and coolly observed - proving Henry James to be a master of psychological insight as well as one of the finest stylists of modern English literature.

Includes The Turn of the Screw • Daisy Miller • Washington Square • The Beast in the Jungle • The Jolly Corner
