'One ought to choose something very deliberately, and be faithful to that.' Isabel Archer is a young, intelligent, and spirited American girl, determined to relish her first experience of Europe. She rejects two eligible suitors in her fervent commitment to liberty and independence, declaring that she will never marry. Thanks to the generosity of her devoted cousin Ralph, she is free to make her own choice about her destiny. Yet in the intoxicating worlds of Paris, Florence, and Rome, her fond illusions of self-reliance are twisted by the machinations of her friends and apparent allies. What had seemed to be a vista of infinite promise steadily closes around her and becomes instead a 'house of suffocation'. Considered by many as one of the finest novels in the English language, this is Henry James's most poised achievement, written at the height of his fame in 1881. It is at once a dramatic Victorian tale of betrayal and a wholly modern psychological study of a woman caught in a web of relations she only comes to understand too late. This edition reproduces the revised New York Edition, with James's own Preface.

評分 評分Henry James受George Eliot影响非常明显,喜欢借助大量细腻的心理刻画来塑造人物性格,但他失败之处在于缺乏足够的对话和行动支撑,人物形象过于抽象,远远不及George Eliot笔下的人物生动饱满,甚至人物性格的定位也缺乏说服力。尤其主角的portrait,本来就因为视角繁...
評分《一位女士的画像》这本书并不在我的阅读计划中。亨利·詹姆斯虽然鼎鼎大名,但我只是知道他写过《小说的艺术》。(另一个例子是E·M·福斯特,同样鼎鼎大名,写过《小说面面观》。) 读了序言之后,虽然不觉得怎么样,但还是决定把它读完。厚达700页的书,却清新流畅,可以一...
