Description
|
|
|
|
Perhaps the most brilliantly successful ghost story ever written, The Turn of the Screw creates a terrifyingly believable impression of innocent and beautiful children corrupted by evil. Their governess must struggle alone to confront and exorcise the demons that she believes possess their souls. Yet Henry James' 1898 novella has also been thought by critics like Edmund Wilson to reflect the corruption of the governess herself, obsessed with a gothic ideal. Like the other titles in this series of affordable classics, this book has been reset in fresh type. It includes a frontispiece illustration and a brief biography of the author.
