«Daisy Miller» is the short novel by Henry James, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (88 pages, in English).
Set in nineteenth-century Europe, it recounts the travels of young American Daisy Miller and her encounter with the expatriate Winterbourne. Her spontaneity clashes with rigid social conventions when her friendship with an Italian arouses suspicion. A story of innocence, social class and cultural clash between the United States and Europe.
The work was originally published in 1878; this edition belongs to the Penguin Popular Classics collection.
For readers of classic fiction and for those wanting a first approach to Henry James in a short text.
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.
