When the young

american Frederick Winterbourne meets his compatriot Daisy Miller in the

garden of a grand hotel in Switzerland, he is struck by her beauty, but

slightly unsettled by her open ways and her flirtatiousness. Undeterred by

this and by his aunt’s disapproval, he invites her to join him in a jaunt to

a nearby castle, little suspecting that this is going to set in train a chain

of events that promises to be a source of heartache and disappointment for

him, and threatens to compromise his own social acceptability.

One of Henry James’s most enduringly popular works, Daisy Miller, here

published in its original 1879 version, is a masterly, psychologically

nuanced dissection of social mores and a merciless critique of convention and

staid respectability.
