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.

It was the man who had been everything, and yet this person was nothing.
评分Poor Catherine, false Morris, smart Dr Sloper
评分一點都不像James，反而有些地方有簡奧斯丁的感覺，不過結尾處還是沒有流俗，天真少女與渣男的情感糾葛，最後也抵不過歲月流逝，再多心碎憂傷執念，也總有放得下那一天。喜歡裏麵對一百多年前紐約城的描寫。
评分Poor Catherine, false Morris, smart Dr Sloper
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".
