Book Description
Originally published in The Cornhill Magazine in 1878 and in book form in 1879, Daisy Miller brought Henry James his first widespread commercial and critical success. The young Daisy Miller, an American on holiday with her mother on the shores of Switzerland’s Lac Leman, is one of James’s most vivid and tragic characters. Daisy’s friendship with an American gentleman, Mr. Winterbourne, and her subsequent infatuation with a passionate but impoverished Italian bring to life the great Jamesian themes of Americans abroad, innocence versus experience, and the grip of fate. As Elizabeth Hardwick writes in her Introduction, Daisy Miller “lives on, a figure out of literature who has entered history as a name, a vision.”
Henry James
Henry James is a British-American author. He is the founder and leader of the realism school of fiction, his brilliant work has led many academics to consider him the greatest master of the fiction style. He spent most of his life in England and his works became public news shortly before his death. Henry is particularly famous for a series of novels depicting the meeting between America and Europe, and his novels focus on personal relationships, the appropriate test of strength in such relationships. Raising ethical questions, and his method of writing from a personal point of view gave him the opportunity to explore the phenomenon of consciousness and concept. Which made his style of writing compared to the school of impressionism in painting.
