  • "Tells of the psychological impact of European culture upon a spirited young American girl named Isabel Archer when she becomes torn between three very different men and falls prey to the schemes of a sophisticated older woman."@en
  • "An American heiress just arrived in Europe, Isabel is high-spirited and independent; she does not look to a man for fulfillment, but intends to find it for herself. In fact, two eligible suitors, an English aristocrat and an aggressive American, both woo her. She refuses them, but finds herself captivated by the charms of Gilbert Osmond, a worthless, tyrannical dilettante. To him she represents at least seventy thousand pounds; because of him she faces a tragic choice. The Portrait of a Lady combines a profound and deeply moving rendering of the human condition with a supreme and conscious mastery of the craft of writing."
