«Daisy Miller» is the short novel by Henry James published by Penguin Classics in paperback (96 pages, in English).
Daisy Miller travels through Europe with her family and meets Winterbourne, an expatriate compatriot. Her spontaneity, oblivious to the norms of European high society, bewilders those around her and ends up compromising her reputation. The novel pits American naturalness against the rigidity of the old continent.
This edition belongs to the Penguin Popular Classics collection and was published on March 30, 1995.
Recommended for readers of classics interested in cultural clash and female characters ahead of their time.
Henry James was an American-British author. He is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. He was the son of theologian Henry James Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.
