Henry James, OM, son of theologian Henry James Sr., brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James, was an American-born author, one of the founders and leaders of a school of realism in fiction. He spent much of his life in England and became a British subject shortly before his death. He is primarily known for a series of major novels in which he portrayed the encounter of America with Europe. His plots centered on personal relationships, the proper exercise of power in such relationships, and other moral questions. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allowed him to explore the phenomena of consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting.
James insisted that writers in Great Britain and America should be allowed the greatest freedom possible in presenting their view of the world, as French authors were. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators in his own novels and tales brought a new depth and interest to realistic fiction, and foreshadowed the modernist work of the twentieth century. An extraordinarily productive writer, in addition to his voluminous works of fiction he published articles and books of travel writing, biography, autobiography, and criticism,and wrote plays, some of which were performed during his lifetime with moderate success. His theatrical work is thought to have profoundly influenced his later novels and tales.
The narrator is a young governess, sent off to a country house to take charge of two orphaned children. She finds a pleasant house and a comfortable housekeeper, while the children are beautiful and charming. But she soon begins to feel the presence of intense evil.
故事很有意思,大部分都是女教师自述,让人忍不住怀疑是不是女教师有精神病或者妄想症,尤其是这本书的翻译,某些用词和对话很生硬很别扭,很莫名其妙,很容易有女教师自导自演一个故事的感觉。但是细想下,女教师从一开始的信心满满到后面知道自己前任女教师以及男仆之后,就...
评分1、可能并没有鬼,女家庭教师精神有问题,鬼是她臆造的,证据之一就是其中一次她和小女孩,女管家同时在场的时候,身边两位都没有看到。女管家是个迷信心理很重的人,所以一听女家庭教师说见鬼了就附和也是有的。 2、女家庭教师和小男孩有暧昧吧?也许有实质性的性关系发生也...

评分《螺丝在拧紧》是美国作家亨利•詹姆斯的一篇名作,据说是哥特小说的代表作,讲了一个匪夷所思的故事。初看这个书名,还以为是一部技术工具书,其实它只是一种寓意,让人恐惧的故事就象不断拧紧的螺丝,越来越紧,到尽头之前只能朝一个方向发展,以形象紧张程度的上升。 故...
评分将这部作品界定为心理小说其实过于狭隘。旧屋及鬼魅的设定(The Mysteries of Udolpho)、master和governess的关系(Jane Eyre)都让人联想到一些知名前作,而在叙事结构(套中套)、语言风格(迂回、多义性)、主题(恶的传染性与天真的失落)、初衷(杂志刊载的Romantic Gothic)等方面又与后辈暗相呼应(康拉德)。阅读的挑战在于剥开外层叙事者“我”的插话“误导”及主观抄录、Douglas转述过程中的潜在立场、governess的不可信叙述以及the written statement "in medias res"的性质,在the sanity of the governess和the reality of the ghosts之间进行权衡。
评分迷宫般的行文和故事。。
