"Perhaps the only novel in which a man has successfully invaded the feminine field and produced a work comparable to Jane Austen's." Graham Greene
Henry James' Washington Square is a classic tale of love, betrayal and stifling societal pressures, set in the heart of nineteenth-century New York. It has become one of his best-loved and most widely admired novels, inspiring writers, artists and playwrights for nearly 150 years.
This brand-new edition, published as a beautiful gift hardback, is also introduced by Colm Toibin, who is an expert in the life and works of Henry James and has re-examined the novel in light of the author's connections to its New York setting. Toibin's own bestselling novel about Henry James, The Master, was published in 2004, and is a powerful tribute to this author written from a novelist's point of view.
