Washington Square (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419193224)

Washington Square is a novel by American author Henry James, first published in 1880. The story is set in New York City in the mid-19th century and revolves around Catherine Sloper, a plain and unremarkable young woman who lives with her widowed father, a wealthy physician. Catherine is courted by Morris Townsend, a charming and handsome young man, but her father disapproves of the match and believes that Townsend is only interested in Catherine's inheritance. As their relationship develops, Catherine must navigate the conflicting desires of her heart and her duty to her father, while Townsend's true intentions remain in question. The novel explores themes of love, family, class, and societal expectations, and is considered one of James' most accessible and popular works. It has been adapted for stage, film, and television, and remains a classic of American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
