Washington Square is a novel by Henry James published in 1880. The story centers on Catherine Sloper, a naive and unattractive young woman living in 19th-century New York City. Catherine is courted by Morris Townsend, a handsome but penniless man, whose interest in her is questioned by Catherine's father, Dr. Sloper, a wealthy widowed doctor who suspects Morris's intentions. The novel explores themes such as love, marriage, manipulation, and family relationships, and offers a critical view of society at the 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.
