Maud-Evelyn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162673240)

Maud-Evelyn is a novel written by Henry James, first published in 1900. The story revolves around the titular character, Maud-Evelyn, a young American woman who travels to Europe in search of adventure and romance. Along the way, she meets a number of interesting characters, including a wealthy Englishman named Captain John Cumnor, with whom she becomes romantically involved.As Maud-Evelyn navigates the social and cultural differences between America and Europe, she begins to question her own values and beliefs. She is torn between her desire for independence and her longing for love and companionship. Meanwhile, Captain Cumnor struggles to reconcile his own feelings for Maud-Evelyn with his obligations to his family and society.The novel is notable for its exploration of themes such as identity, gender roles, and the clash of cultures. James' prose is characterized by its complexity and subtlety, with a focus on psychological insight and social commentary. Maud-Evelyn has been praised for its vivid portrayal of turn-of-the-century Europe and its nuanced depiction of human relationships.I can see Lavinia for instance in her ugly new mourning immediately after her mother's death. There had been long anxieties connected with this event, and she was already faded, already almost old. But Marmaduke, on her bereavement, had been to her, and she came straightway to me.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
