«The Bostonians» is the novel by Henry James, published by Oxford University Press España, S.A. in paperback (498 pages, in English).
The novel satirizes the feminist movement in Boston in the 1870s. Verena Tarrant, a young woman with a talent for oratory, finds herself caught between Olive Chancellor, her feminist cousin who wants to devote her to the cause, and Basil Ransom, a conservative lawyer who wishes to draw her away from activism. Henry James thus portrays the contradictions of reformism with irony and ambivalence.
Edition with introduction and notes by R.D. Gooder, in The World's Classics series. The novel was originally published in 1886.
Intended for the general public and for academic use, as reading of classics in English.
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.
