The narrator is a young governess, sent off to a country house to take charge of two orphaned children. She finds a pleasant house and a comfortable housekeeper, while the children are beautiful and charming. But she soon begins to feel the presence of intense evil.
Henry James, OM, son of theologian Henry James Sr., brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James, was an American-born author, one of the founders and leaders of a school of realism in fiction. He spent much of his life in England and became a British subject shortly before his death. He is primarily known for a series of major novels in which he portrayed the encounter of America with Europe. His plots centered on personal relationships, the proper exercise of power in such relationships, and other moral questions. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allowed him to explore the phenomena of consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting.
James insisted that writers in Great Britain and America should be allowed the greatest freedom possible in presenting their view of the world, as French authors were. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators in his own novels and tales brought a new depth and interest to realistic fiction, and foreshadowed the modernist work of the twentieth century. An extraordinarily productive writer, in addition to his voluminous works of fiction he published articles and books of travel writing, biography, autobiography, and criticism,and wrote plays, some of which were performed during his lifetime with moderate success. His theatrical work is thought to have profoundly influenced his later novels and tales.
將這部作品界定為心理小說其實過於狹隘。舊屋及鬼魅的設定(The Mysteries of Udolpho)、master和governess的關係(Jane Eyre)都讓人聯想到一些知名前作,而在敘事結構(套中套)、語言風格(迂迴、多義性)、主題(惡的傳染性與天真的失落)、初衷(雜誌刊載的Romantic Gothic)等方麵又與後輩暗相呼應(康拉德)。閱讀的挑戰在於剝開外層敘事者“我”的插話“誤導”及主觀抄錄、Douglas轉述過程中的潛在立場、governess的不可信敘述以及the written statement "in medias res"的性質,在the sanity of the governess和the reality of the ghosts之間進行權衡。
評分Is there ever, an "innocent" child? Oh so wickedy wicked! Apparitions or not, the purer souls are always the easier targets for corruption. Still trying to figure out if there is a moral, or, this serves merely as a gothic entertainment.
評分I was ready to enjoy a ghost story, but then found it was a quite confusing one #頭疼
評分看得我心驚肉跳。。詹姆斯的語言風格一如既往地沉悶冗長,講齣來的故事卻可以如此驚悚~
評分???結尾太突然瞭吧

評分 評分这是亨利詹姆斯的大作。 阅读过程几乎没有快感,但却是一本奇特的小说。它的奇特在于,给予了读者不同的阅读走向。 如,女家庭教师究竟有没有看到鬼?鬼魂是否只是出于她的想象?等等。这里很容易产生一些阴谋论的想法。 我不敢说完全看懂了,尤其是它的结局。讲故事的道格...
