Introduction and Notes by Ian F.A. Bell. Professor of English Literature. University of Keele Washington Square marks the culmination of James's apprentice period as a novelist. With sharply focused attention upon just four principal characters, James provides an acute analysis of middle-class manners and behaviour in the New York of the 1870s, a period of great change in the life of the city. This change is explored through the device of setting the novel's action during the 1840s, similarly a period of considerable turbulence as the United States experienced the onset of rapid commercial and industrial expansion. Through the relationships between Austin Sloper, a celebrated physician, and his sister Lavinia Penniman, his daughter Catherine, and Catherine's suitor, Morris Townsend, James observes the contemporary scene as a site of competing styles and performances where authentic expression cannot be articulated or is subject to suppression.

感覺是暗黑版的半生緣，Henry James有一種把狗血故事包裝高級的魔力，明明是一個獵金男倒貼追富傢女的故事，他卻講得有層次有深度，小說裏依稀看得到貴婦畫像和鴿翼的影子:那些欲說還休的感情，那些朦朧曖昧的狀態。James的小說總是提齣問題，等待讀者去解決，所有的答案既在小說裏也不在小說裏，如人飲水，冷暖自知。
评分每個人為瞭達到自己的目的都不說真話。隻有catherine是唯一說真話的人。你以為的真相，真的是真相嗎？
评分一點都不像James，反而有些地方有簡奧斯丁的感覺，不過結尾處還是沒有流俗，天真少女與渣男的情感糾葛，最後也抵不過歲月流逝，再多心碎憂傷執念，也總有放得下那一天。喜歡裏麵對一百多年前紐約城的描寫。
评分FINALLY... Onto the next one or I really can't watch the next episode= =
评分One is by all means stupid, the other is by no means a gentleman. One has a sorry looking, the other a mean character, both deserve the biterness of life.
