The Turn of the Screw: Authoritative Text, Contexts, Criticism - Norton Critical Editions

Synopsis

On the centenary of its initial publication in 1898, "The Turn of the Screw" remains one of Henry James' most remarkable narratives, one whose popularity when it was published is matched by its power to stir readers today. It is one of James' most teachable texts, and therefore provides an introduction to the intricacies of James' style and technique in the novels of the "major phase". This edition provides the New York edition text, with history and notes, accompanied by revised background and source materials.
