| Summary: | Discusses the influence, historical context, and critical reception of James' work. Includes a chronology, bibliography, and index. Whether viewed as a subtle, self-conscious exploration of the haunted house of Victorian culture, filled with echoes of sexual and social unease, or simply as "the most hopelessly evil story we have ever read," The Turn of the Screw is probably the most famous of ghostly tales and certainly the most eerily equivocal. |
