Download or read book The Turn of the Screw written by Henry James and published by Modernista. This book was released on 2023 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young woman starts working as a governess at the isolated estate of Bly outside London. There, she is greeted by the two orphaned children she is to take care of, an ambiguous housekeeper, and an icy, supernatural atmosphere. Soon, a couple of peculiar figures begin to appear unannounced, and a creeping horror tightens its grip on both the governess and the reader. The Turn of the Screw is one of the most classic ghost stories of all time, written by the master of the psychological novel, Henry James. Perhaps more than anyone from his time, James came to inspire our modern horror mythologies, from the image of innocence as evil to schizoid labyrinths a la Roman Polanski. HENRY JAMES [1843-1916] was born in New York but emigrated early to Europe. He is one of the most important names in Anglo-Saxon literature, renowned as a great stylist and as a link between the Victorian era and modernism. Among his most famous novels are The American [1877], Portrait of a Lady [1881], and especially The Turn of the Screw [1898].

Book excerpt: Henry James, OM (15 April 1843 - 28 February 1916) was an American-born British writer, regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. He was the son of Henry James, Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James. James alternated between America and Europe for the first 20 years of his life, after which he settled in England, becoming a British subject in 1915, one year before his death. He is primarily known for the series of novels in which he portrays the encounter of Americans with Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from the point of view of a character within a tale allows him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. James contributed significantly to literary criticism, particularly in his insistence that writers be allowed the greatest possible freedom in presenting their view of the world. James claimed that a text must first and foremost be realistic and contain a representation of life that is recognisable to its readers. Good novels, to James, show life in action and are, most importantly, interesting. The concept of a good or bad novel is judged solely upon whether the author is good or bad. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and possibly unreliable narrators in his own novels and tales brought a new depth and interest to narrative fiction. An extraordinarily productive writer, in addition to his voluminous works of fiction he published articles and books of travel, biography, autobiography, and criticism, and wrote plays, some of which were performed during his lifetime with moderate success. His theatrical work is thought to have profoundly influenced his later novels and tales.

Download or read book Law Literature and the Transmission of Culture in England 1837 1925 written by Dr Cathrine O Frank and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-04-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the last will and testament as a legal, literary, and cultural document, Cathrine O. Frank examines fiction of the Victorian and Edwardian eras alongside actual wills, legal manuals relating to their creation, case law regarding their administration, and contemporary accounts of “curious wills” in periodicals. Her study begins with the Wills Act of 1837 and poses two basic questions: What picture of Victorian culture and personal subjectivity emerges from competing legal and literary narratives about the will, and how does the shift from realist to modernist representations of the will accentuate a growing divergence between law and literature? Frank’s examination of works by Emily Brontë, George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Anthony Trollope, Samuel Butler, Arnold Bennett, John Galsworthy, and E.M. Forster reveals the shared rhetorical and cultural significance of the will in law and literature while also highlighting the competition between these discourses to structure a social order that emphasized self-determinism yet viewed individuals in relationship to the broader community. Her study contributes to our knowledge of the cultural significance of Victorian wills and creates intellectual bridges between the Victorian and Edwardian periods that will interest scholars from a variety of disciplines who are concerned with the laws, literature, and history of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The Turn of the Screw, a novella-length work first published together with another story in 1898 in a volume titled The Two Magics, is Henry James' best-known work today. A haunting tale about ghosts and the struggle for the souls of two children, with Gothic atmospherics, including old and mysterious buildings and the use of light and darkness in setting moods for certain scenes, the work displays some of James' characteristic and innovative style and method. The tale opens as a classic frame story, with a character called "Douglas" reading a manuscript containing the main story to a group of friends, including the unnamed narrator. The framing story, however, is never revisited, and the novella simply ends at the conclusion of the manuscript. The ambiguities inherent in the work contributed to its embrace by the literary establishment, with the veracity of "Douglas" and the narrator, the mental state of "the governess", the specific nature of the "evil", and the actual nature of the various events open to question and interpretation. James' innovative use of point of view, interior monologue and narrators of doubtful reliability in his own novels and stories heavily influenced subsequent writers of narrative fiction and gave rise to lengthy and sometimes acrimonious debate among critics and academics about the interpretation of his works. The Turn of the Screw, for example, is subject to two mutually exclusive interpretations: some have seen it as a macabre ghost story, with its roots in gothic fiction, about the efforts of a governess to save two children from malevolent ghosts, while others have held that it is a sort of psychological drama about an insane governess who creates ghosts in her own mind to justify her feelings and actions. But while James is known to have loved a good ghost story and perhaps most likely intended this as exactly what it appears to be at first blush, a horror story meant to make your skin crawl, he clearly also intentionally constructed the story laden with ambiguity and obscurity and it is for each reader to enjoy the tale and decide for himself or herself what really happened. Henry James (1843-1916) was an American writer, sometimes mistakenly identified as a British writer because he spent most of his life in Britain. Considered a key figure in the 19th century literary realism movement, he was the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and noted diarist Alice James. He lived alternately between America and Europe as a young man before settling England and becoming a British subject in 1915. James frequently structured his work so that the story is told from the point of view of a character within the tale, allowing him to explore issues related to consciousness and human perception.
