Book excerpt: One of the greatest critical challenges of the 20th century, from its publication in 1898 up to our own time, The Turn of the Screw continues to fascinate readers and scholars alike, by its seemingly inexhaustible semantic richness. This study presents a re-evaluation of the ambiguities and doubts which permeate Henry James's tale, through a process of semiotic transcodification. By way of C.S. Peirce's and D. Pignatari's theories of the sign, it captures and interprets the iconic-symbolic elements interwoven in the narrative, thus offering astonishing new insights into the question of the reality / unreality of the apparitions, the coexistence or not of good and evil in the children, and the credibility of the governess / narrator, among other aspects. By integrating all of them into a semantic structure, it demonstrates how the interpretation of the tale gyrates around the fusion of contradictions, as the turn of the screw synthetizes universal duality / complementarity.

Book excerpt: "The contention of this book - that the development of the critical tradition of Henry James's The Turn of the Screw (1898) is forwardly progressive - challenges recent theoretical dogmas that proclaim that criticism does not develop and that texts contain only the random meanings assigned to them by the vagaries of the reading process." "Further, the contention that aspects of the text of James's ghost tale remain unread a century after its publication proposes that the enterprise of practical criticism is ongoing. Scholars simply know more than earlier readers about all aspects of the tale - its structure, the relation of its parts, the significance of its broken frame, its narrative complications, its language, its cultural roots, its critique of society - in short, its total meaning. Modern critical theory must have credit for demonstrating that much of the critical act amounts to a mere translation from one critical vocabulary to another, and for attacking the New Critical premise that criticism solves the text in authoritative and definitive ways. But it must yield - as far as James's tale is concerned - to the overwhelming evidence that the critical enterprise learns from its past and builds on what it learns." "The Turn of the Screw makes a good ground for exploring the questions attendant on a thesis of forwardly progressive criticism because James himself, as the first major critic of the work (in his New York preface, 1908) provoked the controversies that focused the issues for which the critical tradition of the work is noted. Proclaiming that the first readers had imperfectly understood both the author's intentions and the tale's working methods, James challenged the reader to discover the provenience of the tale's authority."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Turn of the Screw is a novella written by Henry James. Initially, it was serialized but later on published in book form. Regarded by many as one of the world's most famous ghost stories, the story of The Turn of the Screw is narrated through the journal of a governess and describes her struggle to save her two young charges from the demonic influence of the uncanny apparitions of two former servants in the household. The novella has been adapted numerous times. The plot of this novella centered on an unnamed narrator and some of their friends who gather around a fire on the Christmas Eve. Douglas, one of them, reads a manuscript that tells the story of governess being hired by a man who has become responsible for his young niece Flora and nephew Miles following the deaths of their parents. Flora, is living in Bly, where she is cared for by Mrs. Grose, the housekeeper. Her uncle, the governess's new employer, is uninterested in raising the children and gives her full charge. The story inspired critical debate over the question of the ghosts.
