The Turn of the Screw and Other Short Novels (Signet Classics)

A collection of six short novels from the celebrated author of The Portrait of a Lady and Washington Square...
Â
By turns chilling, funny, tragic, and profound, Henry Jamesâ€™s short novels allow readers to experience the full range of his skills and vision. The title story, a chilling masterpiece of psychological terror, mixes the phantoms of the mind with those of the supernatural. â€œDaisy Miller,â€ the tale of a provincial American girl in Rome that established Jamesâ€™s literary reputation, and â€œAn International Episodeâ€ are superb examples of his focus on the clash between American and European values. And in â€œThe Aspern Papers,â€ â€œThe Alter of the Dead,â€ and â€œThe Beast in the Jungle,â€ the authorâ€™s remarkable sense of irony, his love of plot twists, and his view of male-female relationships find exquisite expression.
