Publisher's Summary:

The Portrait of a Lady was first published in 1881 and is arguably Henry James' finest novel. It is set in England and Europe, but the main characters tend to be American, including one of fiction's great heroines, Isabel Archer, around whom the plot revolves. A young innocent abroad, Isabel visits her American relatives in England, the Touchetts, and soon befriends her cousin, Ralph.

Critic Reviews:

"The masterpiece of the first phase of James' career." (Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literature)

"The Portrait of a Lady is entirely successful in giving one the sense of having met somebody far too radiantly good for this world." (Rebecca West)

Members Reviews:

Fragile book

The content itself needs little review as most know that this is Henry James' masterpiece. My review is concerned with the edition which is part of the Penguin Clothbound Classics collection. These are beautiful books but unfortunately, the imprinted design is fragile and does peel off. Mine was shipped to me with little bits of the leaves already coming off which was disappointing as I collect this series.

Five Stars

Classic

Content is what you expect, but the physical book itself is not great

The physical book is enormous and the formatting is really poorly done. The content is, of course, great, but I found it really difficult to read because of the formatting and the dimensions of the book made it very awkward to read publicly.

Enjoyed a rather long story.

I enjoyed this story very much. The ending was a bit abrupt but in keeping with the story.

Great transaction

Exactly as advertised
