"Story of a spirited American girl, reared in England by her aunt, determined to live her life to the fullest."@en
""Regarded by many critics as James's masterpiece, this is the story of Isabel Archer, an independent American heiress captivated by the languid charms of an Englishman." "A subtle psychological novel of an American girl being wooed among the elite of international society. Scene laid out mostly in Europe. An artistic masterpiece but for most persons quite slow reading." "This is one the best James's early works, in which he presents various types of American characters transplanted into a European environment. The story centers in Isabel Archer, the 'Lady, ' an attractive American girl ... Isabel refuses the offer of marriage of a typical English peer, the excellent Lord Warburton, and of a bull-dog-like New Englander, Casper Goodwood, to fall a victim ... to a worthless and spiteful dilettante, Gilbert Osmond, who marries her for her fortune and ruins her life; but to whom she remains loyal in spite of her realization of his vileness." Oxford Companion to Engl Lit. 5th edition."@en
"A character study of an American young woman who is in contact with the sophistication of Europe."@en
"When Isabel Archer, a beautiful, spirited American, is brought to Europe by her wealthy Aunt Touchett, it is expected that she will soon marry. But Isabel, resolved to determine her own fate, does not hesitate to turn down two eligible suitors. She then finds herself irresistibly drawn to Gilbert Osmond, who, beneath his veneer of charm and cultivation, is cruelty itself. A story of intense poignancy, Isabel's tale of love and betrayal still resonates with modern audiences."
"Explores the perilous allure of the older European civilization and its impact on the American character through the person of Isabel Archer."@en
"Capturing the grandeur of a gracious, splendid Europe of wealth and Old World sensibilities, this glorious, complex novel has become a touchstone for a great writer's entire literary achievement. From the opening pages, when the high-spirited American girl Isabel Archer arrives at the English manor Gardencourt, James's luminous, superbly crafted prose creates an atmosphere of intensity, expectation, and incomparable beauty. Isabel, who has been taken abroad by an eccentric aunt to fulfill her potential, attracts the passions of a British aristocrat and a brash American, as well as the secret adoration of her invalid cousin, Ralph Touchett. But her vulnerability and innocence lead her not to love but to a fatal entrapment in intrigue, deception, and betrayal. This brilliant interior drama of the forming of a woman's consciousness makes The Portrait of a Lady a masterpiece of James's middle years. From the Paperback edition."
"Elaborate character study of a young American woman in her contacts with sophisticated European society."@en
