Capturing the grandeur of a gracious, splendid Europe of wealth and Old World sensibilities, this glorious, complex novel has become a touchstone for a great writer’s entire literary achievement. From the opening pages, when the high-spirited American girl Isabel Archer arrives at the English manor Gardencourt, James’s luminous, superbly crafted prose creates an atmosphere of intensity, expectation, and incomparable beauty.
Isabel, who has been taken abroad by an eccentric aunt to fulfill her potential, attracts the passions of a British aristocrat and a brash American, as well as the secret adoration of her invalid cousin, Ralph Touchett. But her vulnerability and innocence lead her not to love but to a fatal entrapment in intrigue, deception, and betrayal. This brilliant interior drama of the forming of a woman’s consciousness makes The Portrait of a Lady a masterpiece of James’s middle years.

评分唯一比维多利亚小说强的地方就是人物和关系更加subtle而不过于明晰 除此之外基本没有亮点 对Isabel不同阶段间的转变写的不太清楚 对几个男suitors的刻画也不太饱满 Madame Merle的戏完全可以更足。总之就是各方面都欠
评分It's in the setting of gloomy Rome that the nobleness in Isabel shines. In Gardencourt, she is too stereotypical to be lovable.
