FROM THE PUBLISHER - The graceful irony and firm construction of THE EUROPEANS proclaim the influence of Jane Austen on the early Henry James. This, his fourth novel, was based on a situation which must have been familiar to James himself when returning home from Europe. Significantly, perhaps, the Europeans' whom he introduces into a new England home - Baroness Munster and her brother, Felix - are not Europeans in fact, but American cousins born and brought up in various European countries. Through them - the one morganatically married to a German princeling and the other a light-hearted artist - the sober, dutiful life of the Wentworths and their circle is exposed to peculiar influences.' inventory #30640 ISBN: 0140020705.
