About This Book

Henry James puts the gimlet eye on an actress and a painter, plus a young diplomat and his political sister. They arouse conflicting passions among friends and possible lovers. He also finds inspiration in a character suggested by Oscar Wilde in what scholar Leon Edel calls a witty and sophisticated novel.
