Ürün Tanıtımı

WashingtonSquare marks the culmination of James's appyrentice period as a novelist. Withsharply focused attention upon just four principal characters, James providesan acute analysis of middle-class manners and behaviour in the New York of the1870s. A period of great change in the life of the city. This change isexplored through the device of setting the novel's action during the 1840s,similarly a period of considerable turbulence as the United States experiencedthe onset of rapid commercial and industrial expansian. Through therelationships between Austin Sloper, a celebrated physician, his sister LaviniaPenniman, his daughter Catherine, and Catherine's suitor, Morris Townsend,James observes the contemporary scene as a site fo competing styles andperformances where authentic expression cannot be articulated or is subject tosupperession.
