| Summary |
In Daisy Miller James paints a vivid portrait of a vibrant young American girl visiting Europe for the first time. Daisy meets a wealthy American, Mr. Winterbourne, and a penniless but passionate Italian. Washington Square's Catherine Sloper is Daisy Miller's opposite. Neither pretty nor charming, she lives with her wealthy, widowed, tyrannical father, Dr. Austin Sloper, who can barely conceal his disdain for his shy, awkward daughter. |
