PENGUIN CLASSICS
Henry james The Princess

Henry James conceived the character of Hyacinth Robinson - his 'little presumptuous adventurer, with his combination of intrinsic fineness and fortuitous adversity' - while walking the streets of London.
Brought up in poverty, Hyacinth has nevertheless developed aesthetic tastes that heighten his awareness of the sordid misery around him.

One of James's most personal novels and yet one of the most socially engaged, The Princess Casamassima must, in Derek Brewer's words, 'be read by anyone interested in the contrasts between wealth and poverty, fineness of spirit and vulgarity, terrorism and beauty, as they attract and afflict our feelings. It is as relevant today as when it was first published in 1886.' Vissza
