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。
评分出乎意料地好读。亨利詹姆斯作品,经典推荐。
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。
评分One is by all means stupid, the other is by no means a gentleman. One has a sorry looking, the other a mean character, both deserve the biterness of life.
评分Poor Catherine, false Morris, smart Dr Sloper

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.
