Four novellas by Henry James: The Turn of the Screw, Daisy Miller, The Aspern Papers, and Washington Square. The Turn of the Screw is a haunting psychological tale of a young governess sent to care for two orphaned children at a remote English estate. At first, the children appear innocent and angelic, yet the governess becomes convinced that malevolent spirits linger on the grounds. Daisy Miller follows a young American woman traveling through Europe whose open manners and independence clash with the rigid social codes of expatriate society. The Aspern Papers centers on an unnamed literary scholar obsessed with obtaining private letters written by a famous Romantic poet. His single-minded pursuit leads to humiliation, exposure, and irreversible loss. Washington Square tells the story of Catherine Sloper, a shy and dutiful young woman living under the emotional shadow of her brilliant, domineering father. Caught between love and filial obedience, Catherine is forced into painful self-examination.
