The Classic Victorian Ghost Story—Annotated and Contextualized
THE TURN OF THE SCREW
The Turn of the Screw presents Henry James's original 1898 text together with an original editorial introduction, more than 60 explanatory annotations, and a curated further reading guide.
First published in 1898, The Turn of the Screw remains one of the most celebrated and enigmatic ghost stories in the English language. When a young governess accepts a position at an isolated country house to care for two orphaned children, she becomes convinced that unseen forces are attempting to corrupt those in her charge. As strange apparitions, unexplained events, and growing uncertainty surround the household at Bly, James constructs a haunting tale that continues to provoke questions about perception, innocence, fear, and the nature of evil.
Original annotations illuminate the novella through historical, literary, cultural, philosophical, and psychological context. Explore late Victorian England, country-house life, governesses and domestic service, childhood and education, psychical research, ghost beliefs, Henry James's literary influences, and the ideas that shape the novella's enduring questions about reality, interpretation, and the supernatural.
Read The Turn of the Screw as both a masterfully constructed ghost story and a penetrating exploration of late Victorian anxieties.
This edition features original editorial commentary by T. S. Causley, a registered professional archaeologist and art historian whose historical and material-culture approach brings fresh context to one of the defining works of Victorian Gothic literature.
Includes:
• Editorial Introduction by T. S. Causley
• 60+ Original Annotations
