Something quite like a vanity fair... but of a much more American manner. Perhaps deserves less than five stars, but I am tempted to be a nice reader today :)

One of James's most contentious novels and one of the few to be set wholly in America, The Bostonians also stands out from James's other fictions because it focuses on a burning social issue-the woman question-and explores its ramifications both within the lives of the individual characters and in the greater context of American society.
Touching on a wealth of subjects that resonate today-including the seeming contradictions between feminism and sexuality, lesbianism, and male chauvinism- The Bostonians is at once a witty dissection of human follies and foibles and a serious contemplation of the human condition and the eternal battle of the sexes.
In addition to the Introduction, this edition includes a chronology, explanatory notes, and two appendices: an extract from De Tocqueville on democratic despotism and a chapter from James's The American Scene (1907).
