Description

Description

Washington Square, a deeply moving novel by Henry James, tells the story of Catherine Sloper's journey to self-realization. Living with her wealthy father in New York City in the 1840s, Catherine falls in love with Morris Townsend, a charming but penniless suitor who challenges her family's expectations.

A battle of wills ensues as Catherine resists her father's disapproval and Morris's intentions are called into question. James's brilliant wit, satiric skill, and psychological insight bring this complex situation to life in a profound exploration of romantic love, family duty, and personal identity.

This Warbler Classics edition features a new introduction and notes by William E. Cain, as well as a detailed biographical timeline and suggestions for further reading, providing a rich context for readers to engage with James's timeless masterpiece.
