Complete and unabridged, with 96 full-page plates by Vilhelm Arnesen, Piet Mondrian and Paul Cézanne. A young American woman inherits a fortune she did not ask for and is thereby made free to choose — which is the trap. James thought this his most perfect design: an heiress, three suitors, an expatriate circle in Florence and Rome, and a marriage entered into for the noblest reason and the worst judgment. He revised it heavily in old age, and readers still argue about which version to read. Ninety-six plates of tea taken and tea refused, from Raphaelle Peale's still lifes to scenes of Uji production, give the novel's drawing rooms their ritual and their judgment.
