bA new edition of Henry James's searing study of marriage and Infidelityb pSet in England, iThe Golden Bowli is Henry James's highly charged exploration of adultery, jealousy, and possession that continues and challenges James's characteristic exploration of the battle between American innocence and European experience. Maggie Verver, a young American heiress, and her widowed father, Adam, lead a life of wealth and refinement in London. They are both getting married Maggie to Prince Amerigo, an impoverished Italian aristocrat, and Adam to the beautiful but penniless Charlotte Stant. But both father and daughter are unaware that their new conquests share a secret - one for which all concerned must pay the price. This story completes what critics have called the major phase of James's career. pFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
