The Turn of the Screw is a gothic psychological horror novella by American writer Henry James, originally published in 1898. The story narrates the events that happen to a governess hired to take care of two children in a remote English mansion. As the plot progresses, the governess begins to suspect that the children are being influenced by supernatural forces and that the house is haunted by the ghosts of former employees. The novella explores themes such as perception, reality, madness, and the nature of evil, leaving the reader uncertain as to whether the events are real or a product of the protagonist's imagination.
Henry James was an American-British author. He is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism, and is considered by many to be among the greatest novelists in the English language. He was the son of theologian Henry James Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.
