About This Item
Nice Heritage Press hardcover edition, in slipcase, including the 4-page publisher's insert. The book is in fine condition; the slipcase is solid with sharp corners, but is sun faded around the open edge and has some small spots on one side. [BN15]
Synopsis
The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James was initially published as a serial in Macmillan's Magazine (UK) and The Atlantic Monthly (US) in 1880–81. The story tells of a spirited young American woman, Isabel Archer — arguably one of Miller’s most memorable characters — as she affronts her destiny only to find it overwhelming. The Portrait of a Lady is James’ most popular novel and is regarded by critics as one of his finest, exploring his characteristic theme of conflict between American individualism and European social custom.
