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.

評分在我看来书名《一位女士的画像》就是对这本书最好的定位,就像一张正经绘制的风景油画,写实、饱满、色彩丰富、面面俱到;细节往往值得人欣赏和品味,鸟瞰全局的时候反而容易迷乱。 细致描写——无论是对于七上八下的人物内心活动还是对于花样繁多的沙龙式场景——是《画像》...

評分I suddenly found myself sobbing like a baby after reading this novel, as if I myself had confronted that tragic destiny of Isabel. It’s said that a novel is in its broadest sense a personal, a direct impression of life. When we read between the lines, we a...
It's in the setting of gloomy Rome that the nobleness in Isabel shines. In Gardencourt, she is too stereotypical to be lovable.
评分Were we born to rot in our misery----were we born to be afraid? i never know you afraid! If you'll only trust me, how little you will be disappointed! The world's all before us---and the world's very big. i know something about that.
评分唯一比維多利亞小說強的地方就是人物和關係更加subtle而不過於明晰 除此之外基本沒有亮點 對Isabel不同階段間的轉變寫的不太清楚 對幾個男suitors的刻畫也不太飽滿 Madame Merle的戲完全可以更足。總之就是各方麵都欠
