Daisy Miller

The novella that made Henry James famous and offended half of Boston. Daisy Miller, a fresh and pretty American abroad, strolls out unchaperoned with a handsome Italian and cannot understand why the expatriate ladies of Rome close their doors to her. James poses a single, unanswerable question — is she innocent or merely careless, and does the distinction matter to a society that has already judged her? This edition presents the complete and unabridged novella, newly typeset and illustrated with 30 full-page color plates.
