Daisy Miller

Frederick Winterbourne, an American expatriate visiting at Vevey, Switzerland, meets commonplace, newly rich Mrs. Miller from Schenectady, N.Y., her mischievous small son, Randolph, and her daughter, Daisy, an "inscrutable combination of audacity and innocence." The Millers have no perception of the complex code that underlies behavior in European society, and Winterbourne is astonished at the girl's innocence and her mother's unconcern when Daisy accompanies him to the Castle of Chillon. Some months later he meets the family in Rome, where Daisy has aroused suspicion among the American colony by being seen constantly with Giovanelli, a third-rate Italian. Ostracized by former friends who think her "intrigue" has gone too far, Daisy denies to Winterbourne that she is engaged to Giovanelli. In public, Winterbourne defends her as simply uncultivated; privately, he hesitates.

  • "What the European male fails to understand is that the American girl is innocent by definition, mythically innocent", and, the confusion of Winterbourne is aggravated by the atmosphere in Vevey, a no-man's land half-way between the grimness of Geneva and the moral laxity of Rome. Winterbourne mistakes Daisy's frank manner for commonness, yet he is also aware of her delicate grace."

  • "" Daisy Miller, Henry James' novel of manners and morals, has been called one of his finest. It reveals America as a young, vibrant, and often careless society, while European culture appears as jaded, steeped in propriety and old world values. When Daisy Miller, a young American woman, visits Rome, she has no idea the local customs vary so much from her home. She sets tongues gossiping with her free-spirited actions, such as walking in public with men. She must be made aware of the inherent dangers that lie behind the different ways of doing things. Daisy is as free as the air, but her garden of earthly pleasures stings with the thorns of youth, tradition, and love. Narrator Flo Gibson eloquently portrays Daisy's innocence and insolence."--Container."
