具体描述
For lucidity and compactness of style, James's short novels, or novelles, are shining examples of his genius. Few other writings of the century have so captured the American imagination. When "Daisy Miller," the tale of the girl from Schenectady, first appeared in 1878, it was an extraordinary success. James had discovered nothing less than "the American girl"--free spirited, flirtatious, an innocent abroad determined to defy European convention even if it meant scandal . . . or tragedy. But the subtle danger lurking beneath the surface in "Daisy Miller" evolves into a classic tale of terror and obsession in "The Turn Of The Screw." "The imagination, " Henry James said to Bernard Shaw, "has a life if its own." In this blood-curdling story, that imagination weaves the lives of two children, a governess in love with her employer, and a sprawling country house into a flawless story, still unsurpassed as the prototype of modern horror fiction. " "The Turn Of The Screw" seems to have proved more fascinating to the general reading public than anything else of James's except "Daisy Miller.""--Edmund Wilson

评分这是亨利詹姆斯的大作。 阅读过程几乎没有快感，但却是一本奇特的小说。它的奇特在于，给予了读者不同的阅读走向。 如，女家庭教师究竟有没有看到鬼？鬼魂是否只是出于她的想象？等等。这里很容易产生一些阴谋论的想法。 我不敢说完全看懂了，尤其是它的结局。讲故事的道格...
