Àííîòàöèÿ: The two young men are halves of what should be an ideal whole, but their relationship, far from uniting them, splits them irredeemably. It is this stress of mutual attraction and description, leading to final tragedy, which will always remain as the cause of that novel's extraordinary power, and which elevates it to a very high place in the long James canon.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Christopher Newman, a self-made American millionaire in France, has fallen in love with the beautiful, aristocratic Claire de Bellegarde. Her family, however, taken back by his brash American manner, rejects his proposal of marriage. When Newman discovers a guilty secret in the Bellegardes' past, he controls a moral dilema: should he reveal the truth behind the careful facade the family has maintained and thus gain his revenge?

Àííîòàöèÿ: The poetry in this volume represents that portion of the great poetry of Christendom that was written in English--at first in Middle English, but soon in our own tongue--from the fourteenth century through most of the sixteenth. Its beginnings in the Middle Ages have special meaningfulness for us today, when we are beset by the need to rediscover the unity that was then felt between man and society, feeling and intellect. In the development of allegory, particularly, we find one of its characteristic modes. Following on through these wide-ranging selections, we get an illuminating view of the pre-Shakespearean poetic temper, when verse was universally the popular medium for instruction and entertainment. In addition to Auden s brilliant introduction to the period, this volume contains a helpful guide to the poems in Middle English, and footnote glossaries of unfamiliar words.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The fifth volume of Poets of the English Language brings together the most representative poets of two latter-day groups. In style and craftsmanship the poetry of the last half of the nineteenth century and first part of the twentieth extended, developed, and refined the discoveries of the early Romantics.

Àííîòàöèÿ: One of the most remarkable technical achievements in fiction. We are shown corruption through the eyes of innocence that will not be corrupted. Maisie is a child who must lead her life between her divorced parents, who are immoral and irresponsible. The entire action is presented through Maisie, through her developing consciousness and understanding.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Washington Square is a tale of silent suffering that very obviously recalls Eugenie Grandet - to say which doesn't mean that it isn't a very original and characteristic creation, fine in a way that is beyond Balzac.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This small book, written so early in James's career, is a masterpiece of major quality. The graceful irony and firm construction of The Europeans proclaim the influence of Jane Austen on the early Henry James.

Àííîòàöèÿ: In his short stories Henry James employs techniques of interior monologue and point of view to expand the readers' enjoyment of character perception and insight. Often comparing the Old World with the New, and influenced by Honore de Balzac, Henrik Ibsen, Charles Dickens, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Brought up in poverty, Hyacinth has nevertheless developed aesthetic tastes that heighten his awareness of the sordid misery around him. He is drawn into the secret world of revolutionary politics and, in a moment of fervour, makes a vow that he will assassinate a major political figure. Soon after this he meets the beautiful Princess Casamassima. Captivated by her world of wealth and nobility, art and beauty, Hyacinth loses faith in radicalism, the beastly cause. But tormented by his belief in honour, he must face an agonizing, and ultimately tragic, dilemma.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The four stories in this volume provide excellent introductions to the themes and styled of the author's three periods and aiso to that 'long short story' )'the dear, the blessed nouvelle') in which James found he could get the best of both words

Àííîòàöèÿ: The present collection, which was first published in 1950 and has been reprinted seventeen times, has been widely acclaimed and remains one of the best known and most constantly used anthologies of modern poetry to have appeared.

Àííîòàöèÿ: These three short stories are distinguished from Henry James s longer novels by a significant change in style. As always, they are deeply concerned with the subtleties and vagaries of character but, restricted as they are by the forms and conventions of short story writing, they are necessarily more direct in tone and precise in their territory.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Henry James' celebrated novel about a passionate New England suffragette, her displaced southern gentleman cousin, and a charismatic young woman whose loyalty they both wished to possess goes so directly to the heart of sexual politics that it speaks to us with a voice as fresh and as vital as when the book was first published in 1882. Majestic in its movement, rich and sympathetic in its ironies, The Bostonians is the work of a master psychologist at the top of his form.

Àííîòàöèÿ: A half-length novel first published under the title The Old Things as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly in 1896 and then as a book in 1897.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Henry James had arrived at such mastery of the forms and uses of fiction by the time he published The Awkward Age in 1899 that this story of a young girl introduced into a casually corrupt circle of sophisticates is at once a universal drama of innocence confronting evil, a detailed examination of a social order, and a stunning picture of a civilization in crisis.
