Description

About The Book: Henry James's 1898 horror novella, "The Turn of the Screw," unfolds as the governess caring for two children at a remote estate becomes convinced they are haunted. Set in the 19th century, the story is serialized and later collected in "The Two Magics." Critics initially viewed it as a ghost story, but later interpretations suggested the supernatural elements were the governess's imaginings. The novella's ambiguity became a focus, influenced by structuralism, Marxism, and feminism. The plot involves ghosts, childhood innocence, and the governess's psychological unraveling. Adapted into various forms, it remains a seminal work, challenging readers with its enigmatic narrative.
