The Portrait of a Lady Paperback - 1997
by Henry James; Introduction by Lionel Kelly; Notes by Lionel Kelly
About this book
The
Portrait of a Lady by Henry James was initially published as a serial in Macmillan's
Magazine (UK) and The Atlantic Monthly (US) in 1880–81. The story
tells of a spirited young American woman, Isabel Archer — arguably one of
Miller’s most memorable characters — as she affronts her destiny only to find it
overwhelming. The Portrait of a Lady is James’ most popular novel and is
regarded by critics as one of his finest, exploring his characteristic theme of conflict between American individualism and European social custom.
From the rear cover
When Isabel Archer, a young American woman with looks, wit, and imagination, arrives in Europe, she sees the world as 'a place of brightness, of free expression, of irresistible action'. She turns aside from suitors who offer her their wealth and devotion to follow her own path. But that way leads to disillusionment and a future as constricted as 'a dark narrow alley with a dead wall at the end'. In a conclusion that is one of the most moving in modern fiction, Isabel makes her final choice.
First Edition Identification
Though most generally
considered The Portrait of a Lady to have been published simultaneously in the United Kingdom and the United States, controversy surrounds the true publication
history. Macmillan (London) published the first UK edition of the book in
three volumes in November 1881, just as the story was concluding its run in the
eponymous house monthly magazine. However, Macmillan’s second edition — its
first single-volume edition — was not published until June 1882. In the mean
time, Houghton, Mifflin, and Company (Boston) published the first US and first single-volume edition, which became available on November 16, 1881, though the date on the title page states 1882.
