"Washington Square is perhaps the only novel in which a man has successfully invaded the feminine field and produced work comparable to Jane Austen's," said Graham Greene. Inspired by a story Henry James heard at a dinner party, Washington Square tells how the rakish but idle Morris Townsend tries to win the heart of heiress Catherine Sloper against the objections of her father. Precise and understated, the book endures as a matchless social study of New York in the mid-nineteenth century. The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with afford- able hardbound editions of impor- tant works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy- fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torch- bearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inau- gurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.

Er liebt sie, er liebt sie nicht, er liebt sie, er liebt sie nicht ... Selten waren Herzensangelegenheiten undurchsichtiger als in diesem Roman. «Washington Square», eines von James’ bekanntesten und beliebtesten Werken, offenbart dessen Meisterschaft in der Analyse menschlicher Abgründe. Die vorliegende Neuübersetzung erschließt die komplexe, anspielungsreiche Sprachwelt des Autors und ermöglicht endlich auch im Deutschen höchsten Lesegenuss. Catherine Sloper ist ein schüchternes, in jeder Hinsicht blasses Mädchen – und eine der besten Partien New Yorks. Als ihr der attraktive Abenteurer Morris Townsend den Hof macht, geht sie bereitwillig auf sein Werben ein. Doch Catherines Vater, zugleich der Verwalter ihres Vermögens, vermutet in Townsend einen Mitgiftjäger und will eine Heirat um jeden Preis verhindern. Hin- und hergerissen zwischen kindlichem Pflichtgefühl und dem Wunsch nach Selbstbehauptung, ringt Catherine um eine Entscheidung. Hin- und hergerissen ist auch der Leser, denn über die wahren Motive aller Beteiligten – des verarmten Bräutigams in spe, der ebenso naiven wie geschmeichelten Braut, des in seiner Autorität verletzten Brautvaters, der sein Vermögen einst selbst durch Heirat erworben hatte – lässt uns Henry James bewusst im Unklaren.

Washington Square is a short novel by Henry James. Washington Square is a structurally simple tragicomedy that recounts the conflict between a dull but sweet daughter and her brilliant, unemotional father. The plot of the novel is based upon a true story told to James by his close friend, British actress Fanny Kemble. The book is often compared with Jane Austen's work for the clarity and grace of its prose and its intense focus on family relationships. James was not a great fan of Washington Square itself.He tried to read it over for inclusion in the New York Edition of his fiction (1907-1909) but found that he could not, so the novel was not included. Other readers, though, have sufficiently enjoyed the book to make it one of the more popular works of the Jamesian canon. The bitterest irony in the story is that Dr. Sloper, a brilliant and successful physician, is exactly right about Morris Townsend, and yet he is cruel to his defenseless and loving daughter. If the doctor had been incorrect in his appraisal of the worthless Townsend, he would be only a stock villain. As it is, the doctor's head functions perfectly but his heart has grown cold after the death of his beautiful and gifted wife. Catherine gradually grows throughout the story, ultimately gaining the ability to judge her situation accurately.As James puts it: "From her point of view the great facts of her career were that Morris Townsend had trifled with her affection, and that her father had broken its spring. Nothing could ever alter these facts; they were always there, like her name, her age, her plain face. Nothing could ever undo the wrong or cure the pain that Morris had inflicted on her, and nothing could ever make her feel towards her father as she felt in her younger years." Catherine will never be brilliant, but she learns to be clear-sighted.

Catherine Sloper, naive but heiress to a fortune, attracts the attention of a good-looking but penniless young man: Morris Townsend. But her father is deeply convinced that his motives are merely mercenary. Innocent Catherine is misled by her meddling aunt and mistreated by both her father and her lover. However she grows in strength and wisdom. Washington Square, first published in 1881, is a short novel by Henry James. The author himself never showed any real affection for this novel, but it has become one of his most popular works.
