Isabel Archer,来自于纽约,应姨母之邀,来伦敦探望她和她的丈夫Daniel的宅邸拜访。后,Isabel的父亲过世。在葬礼期间,她遇到了她的表亲Ralph Touchett,一个友善而病弱的青年,以及Ralph粗鲁的另据Warburton爵爷。Isabel拒绝了Warburton仓促的求婚,同样她也拒绝了Caspar Goodwood的求婚,尽管CG是个富有魅力的人而且是波士顿十分富有的磨坊继承人。尽管Isabel倾心于CG,但是她不希望通过这样的婚姻降低自己的独立性。她觉得,与CG结婚会让她丧失自由。Ralph的父亲年迈重病,要求他的儿子在自己死后把大部分资产留给Isabel。 Isabel周游大陆,在弗洛伦萨遇见了一个被流放的美国人,(当时对于罪行,尤其是宗教或者政治异见者,有流放海外殖民地以及放弃本国国籍的责罚制度。一般流放可以免除拘役或坐监)Gilbert Osmond。尽管她拒绝了之前的两次求婚,但是接受了GO的求婚。她没有意识到,这桩婚事,是富有心计但并不值得信任的Merle 女士,另一个被流放的美国人,暗中积极策划促成的。 Isabel和Osmond停留在罗马,然而他们的婚姻不久就陷入不睦。原因是Osmond过分的自大以及对妻子的忽视。Isabel温柔地对待Pansy,Osmond第一次婚姻的女儿,并且试着促成她想要的婚事,嫁给Edward Rosier,一个年轻的艺术收藏家。但是贪财的Osmond希望女儿嫁给之前向Isabel求过婚的Warburton。而Isabel则猜疑Warburton接近Pansy,只是为了重新向自己示好而已。 而Isabel和Osmond的婚姻矛盾日益加重。此时,Isabel得知Ralph在英格兰垂死。想要回英格兰与他道别。但是Osmond自私地拒绝了这个计划。于此同时,Isabel从Osmond的姐妹处得知Pansy其实是Merle女士和Osmond的女儿。 Isabel最后一次看望Pansy,Pansy祈求Isabel以后再回来看她。Isabel不情愿地答应了。她之后就在Osmond不知情的状况下独自离开了,去英格兰看望Ralph,并陪伴他知道他过世。CG向Isabel表白,并且求她离开Osmond。他情不自禁地拥抱并亲吻了Isabel。但是Isabel退缩了。本来CG和Isabel约好第二天见面,CG赴约却被告知Isabel已经离开前去罗马。故事留给了读者想象的空间。是重回婚姻,还是带着Pansy离开Osmond。 -

What Maisie Knew
在线阅读本书 What Maisie Knew (1897) represents one of James's finest reflections on the rites of passage from wonder to knowledge, and the question of their finality. Neglected and exploited by everyone around her, Maisie inspired James to dwell with extraordinary acuteness on the things that may pass between adult and child. In addition to a new Introduction, this edition of the novel offers particularly detailed notes, bibliography, and a list of additional readings. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
