<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition brings together one of literature's most famous ghost stories and one of Henry James's most unusual novellas. In <b>The Turn of the Screw</b>, a governess is haunted by ghosts from her young charges past; Virginia Woolf said of this masterpiece of psychological ambiguity and suggestion, We are afraid of something unnamed, of something, perhaps, in ourselves...Henry James...can still make us afraid of the dark. <p/>In his rarely anthologized novella <b>In the Cage</b>, James brings his incomparable powers of observation to the story of a clever, rebellious heroine of Britain's lower middle class. Hortense Calisher, in her Introduction, calls it a delicious story, the more so because it confounds what we expect from James.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[James] is the most intelligent man of his generation."<br>--T.
