Description
The Ambassadors by Henry James
A witty and subtle exploration of different responses to European culture, this novel follows Strether's mission to extricate his son Chad from the influence of Madame de Vionnet and her daughter Jeanne in Paris.
As the summer wears on, Mrs Newsome sends another envoy to confront Chad, but Strether's view of the world has changed profoundly. This edition includes a chronology, further reading, glossary, notes, and an introduction discussing the novel in the context of James's other works on Americans in Europe.
Published in 2008, this new edition of The Ambassadors brings together Henry James's masterful prose with insightful commentary to provide a deeper understanding of this complex and thought-provoking novel.
