Description
Daisy Miller is a novel by Henry James that explores the complexities of social convention and personal freedom. The story revolves around Daisy, an American woman who travels to Europe with her family, and her interactions with Winterbourne, a fellow countryman. As Daisy navigates her relationships with those around her, she presents a dilemma: is she deliberately flouting social norms or simply unaware of them? Her outspoken nature and refusal to observe the codes of respectable behaviour leave her vulnerable. This enigmatic figure would become a central character in James's later works, cementing his reputation as a masterful portraitist of human nature. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition brings Daisy Miller to readers for over seventy years, offering an authoritative text enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
