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.

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。
评分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？
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！”
评分一点都不像James，反而有些地方有简奥斯丁的感觉，不过结尾处还是没有流俗，天真少女与渣男的情感纠葛，最后也抵不过岁月流逝，再多心碎忧伤执念，也总有放得下那一天。喜欢里面对一百多年前纽约城的描写。
