Washington Square
by Henry James

The plot of Washington Square has the simplicity of old-fashioned melodrama: a plain-looking, good-hearted young woman, the only child of a rich widower, is pursued by a charming but unscrupulous man who seeks the wealth she will presumably inherit. On this premise, Henry James constructed one of his most memorable novels, a story in which love is answered with betrayal and loyalty leads inexorably to despair."
-- from the Introduction by Peter Conn

In Washington Square (1880), Henry James reminisces about the New York he had known thirty years before as he tells the story of Catherine Sloper and her fortune-seeking suitor Morris Townsend. This perceptively drawn human drama is James' most accessible work and an enduring literary triumph.

Henry James se na Washington Square (1880) spominja New Yorka, ki ga je poznal že trideset let prej, ko pripoveduje zgodbo o Catherine Sloper in njenem bogataškem proscu Morrisu Townsendu. Ta zaznavna človeška drama je najbolj dostopno Jamesovo delo in trajni literarni triumf.
