The Portrait of a Lady - Wordsworth Classics - Henry James
With an Introduction and Notes by Lionel Kelly, Senior Lecturer in English, University of Reading. An unexpected inheritance apparently gives her freedom, but despite all her natural advantages she makes one disastrous error of judgement and the result is genuinely tragic. Transplanted to Europe from her native America, Isabel Archer has candour, beauty, intelligence, an independent spirit and a marked enthusiasm for life.
