Book introduction
Washington Square
Washington Square tells the story of Catherine Sloper, her severe father, and a suitor whose motives remain suspect. Set in nineteenth-century New York, it is one of Henry James’s most accessible studies of family power, emotional restraint, money, and the formation of independence.
