Washington Square (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition) - Paperback
Description
by Henry James (Author), William E. Cain (Introduction by)
One of Henry James's most engaging and emotionally affecting novels, Washington Square tells the story of Catherine Sloper, a plain and unassuming young woman living with her wealthy father, Dr. Austin Sloper, in New York City in the 1840s. She meets and falls in love with Morris Townsend, a charming but penniless suitor. Her father strongly disapproves of the match, believing Morris to be a fortune hunter only interested in Catherine's inheritance. Catherine resists her father, and a battle of will ensues, which James describes with brilliant wit, satiric skill, and psychological insight. Washington Square is a profound and deeply moving novel about romantic love, family duty, and a young woman's painful journey to self-realization. This Warbler Classics edition includes a new introduction and notes by William E. Cain as well as a detailed biographical timeline and suggestions for further reading.
