關於本電子書

Catherine Sloper, the only surviving child of the Sloper family, is a kind but plain girl, and as such is treated by her widowed father, Dr. Sloper. So when Catherine becomes engaged, Dr. Sloper finds it hard to believe that any man would be interested in her for anything but her inheritance, and sets his mind to separating his daughter from her fiancé.

Although Henry James is said to have disdained Washington Square, since its publication the novel has become one of the author’s most beloved works. Washington Square has been adapted several times for film and theatre, including a 1949 film starring Olivia de Havilland and Ralph Richardson, and a 1997 film starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Albert Finney, and Maggie Smith.
