OVERVIEW

An immediate and widespread popular success upon publication, Daisy Miller continues to be one of Henry James' most popular works, along with The Turn of the Screw and The Portrait of a Lady. Daisy Miller proved to be James' greatest success with the readers of his time. This Special Critical Edition of Daisy Miller (Cambridge World Classics) is the only volume which contains the complete unabridged novel along with three bonus critical and biographical essays which examine, in depth, Henry James' life and literary legacy.

Daisy Miller portrays the courtship of a beautiful American girl by a more sophisticated compatriot of hers. His pursuit of Daisy is hampered by her own flirtatiousness, which is frowned upon by the other expatriates they meet in Switzerland and Italy. Her lack of understanding of the social mores of the society she so desperately wishes to enter ultimately leads to tragedy.
