James' poignant, ironic work that explores what happens when a co-conspirator falls in love with "the mark."

James is incredibly detailed and though I love this film, I found the book to be rather slow moving.

For fans of turn of the century American culture, Henry James never lets you down. Illustrative, well crafted stories, combining American & European influences. A beautiful book.

The nationwide revival of interest in the writings of Henry James has created the demand for this new, popular-priced edition of The Wings of the Dove. Considered by its author the most ambitious, by his critics the most perceptive and by his ever-growing circle of devotees his most highly sustained novel, it is given a distinguished place in the Modern Library series beside five of his widely read works: The Portrait of a Lady, The Turn of the Screw and the Lesson of the Master, Washington Square, and The Short Stories of Henry James.
