Widely considered James's first great work of fiction and highly innovative in its narrative techniques, The Portrait of a Lady follows the story of an ardent, idealistic American heroine, Isabel Archer, in a cosmopolitan Europe. It explores individual freedom amidst confining circumstance, romantic choice, and the consequences of disillusionment and betrayal. This edition, based on the most reliable of the work's first book appearances (Macmillan, 1882), provides an authoritative text of one of James's finest long novels, with extensive annotations, a detailed textual history and an analysis of the reasons for its long-held popular appeal. It will be of particular interest not only to James scholars, but also book historians and students of nineteenth-century Anglo-American literature and culture.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eGeneral editors' preface\u003cbr\u003e General chronology of James' life and writings\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Textual introduction\u003cbr\u003e Chronology of composition and production\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e The Portrait of a Lady\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of foreign words and phrases\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Textual variants\u003cbr\u003e List of emendations\u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Classic fiction [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Classic fiction\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Classic%20fiction%20%5Bpre%20c%201945%5D%20%5BFC%5D%22\"\u003epre c 1945 FC\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary studies: fiction, novelists \u0026amp; prose writers [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: fiction, novelists \u0026amp; prose writers\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20fiction,%20novelists%20\u0026amp;%20prose%20writers%20%5BDSK%5D%22\"\u003eDSK\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20c%201800%20to%20c%201900%20%20%5BDSBF%5D%22\"\u003eDSBF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46004876673304,"sku":"9781107004009","price":137.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781107004009i_12807b24-555b-4ecf-8119-cbe52047d32e.jpg?v=1691360845","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-portrait-of-a-lady-hardback-9781107004009","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
