The plot of "Washington Square" has the simplicity of old-fashioned melodrama: a plain-looking, good-hearted young woman, the only child of a rich widower, is pursued by a charming but unscrupulous man who seeks the wealth she will presumably inherit. On this premise, Henry James constructed one of his most memorable novels, a story in which love is answered with betrayal and loyalty leads inexorably to despair." -- from the Introduction by Peter Conn In "Washington Square" (1880), Henry James reminisces about the New York he had known thirty years before as he tells the story of Catherine Sloper and her fortune-seeking suitor Morris Townsend. This perceptively drawn human drama is James' most accessible work and an enduring literary triumph. Washington Square Press' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of "Washington Square" has been prepared by Peter Conn, Andrea Mitchell Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania. It includes his introduction, notes, selection of critical excerpts, and suggestions for further reading as well as a unique visual essay of period illustrations and photographs.

评分有点伤感的故事
评分一个“让我告诉你们事情是怎么走到这一步”的精彩讲述。前三分之一都以为是个奥斯丁式的故事，但Henry James显然志不在此。父女这一对人物塑造得相当好，对话中的讽刺笑料也堪比奥斯丁王尔德，果然是个适合改编成舞台剧的素材。
