Editorial Reviews

Review
“He is as solitary in the history of the novel as Shakespeare in the history of poetry.”
—Graham Greene

Product Description
An incomparable Henry James’s novel in a new edition

Featuring a new introduction, it is a brilliant and sophisticated satire of manners and morals in the best Jamesian tradition. The Wings of the Dove is an indelible take on the tragic love triangle in which two poor yet ardent lovers seduce a dying woman in the hope that she will leave them her fortune.

'The Wings of the Dove',1 published in 1902, represents to my memory a very old - if I shouldn't perhaps rather say a very young - motive;2 I can scarce remember the time when the situation on which this long-drawn fiction mainly rests was not vividly present to me. Read the first page
