 | Portrait of a Lady by Anita Brookner, Flo Gibson, Gayle Hunnicutt, Geoffrey Moore, Henry James
The mere slim shade of an intelligent but presumptuous girl...a certain young woman affronting her destiny is how Henry James describes his first perception of Isabel Archer, who grew into one of his most magnificent heroines. An American heiress newly arrived in Europe, Isabel does not look to a man to furnish her with her destiny; instead she desires, with grace and courage, to find it herself. Two eligible suitors approach her and are refused. She then becomes utterly captivated by the languid charms of Gilbert Osmond. To him, she represents a superior prize worth at least 70 thousand pounds; through him, she faces a tragic choice. The greatest of the novels of James's early period, PORTRAIT OF A LADY was deeply influenced by both Turgenev and George Eliot. AUTHOR: Anita Brookner, Flo Gibson, Gayle Hunnicutt, Geoffrey Moore, Henry James
