Acerca de este libro electrónico

Henry James's most memorable novels, a story in which love is answered with betrayal and loyalty leads inexorably to despair.

In Washington Square, originally published in 1880, Henry James reminisces about the New York he had known thirty years before as he tells the story of Catherine Sloper and her fortune-seeking suitor Morris Townsend. This perceptively drawn human drama is James' most accessible work and an enduring literary triumph.

This edition of Washington Square has been prepared by Peter Conn, Andrea Mitchell Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania.
