American author and expatriate Henry James is regarded as one the principal figures of 19th century literary realism. His work is noted for its intimate examination of the consciousness of his characters. Such an examination is at the heart of one of his most famous works, The Turn of the Screw. First published serially in Colliers Weekly in 1898, The Turn of the Screw is a remarkable example of late 19th century gothic horror. An intense psychological tale of terror, the novella begins in an old house on Christmas Eve. A governess comes to live with and take care of two young children, whose parents have recently died. The governess loves her new position in charge of the young children; however she is soon disturbed when she begins to see ghosts. While once regarded as just a scary story, modern criticism has reinterpreted the ambiguity of the narrative to possibly suggest a deeper thematic intent. Regardless, The Turn of the Screw remains a hauntingly gothic tale. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
