The Bostonians
by Henry James
Henry James' famous novel about a passionate New England suffragist, a deposed cousin a Southern gentleman, and a charismatic young woman whose loyalty they both want to possess is so directly rooted in the heart of sexual politics that it speaks to us with as fresh and vital a voice as when the book was first published in 1882. Majestic in his movement, rich and compassionate in his ironies, the Bostonians are the work of a master psychologist at the very top of his form.
