Synopses

The Turn of the Screw

Remembered as Henry James’s classic ghost story, this chilling work is set in a country house and centres on a tale of the supernatural. It is presented as a story told by a master of the genre.

The Aspern Papers

Set among Americans in Europe, this tale explores a theme for which Henry James is noted as assured and accomplished. The drama is evoked against the backdrop of a Venetian palace, with an atmosphere likened to a comédie humaine.
