One of Henry James's most engaging novels, The Europeans, takes as its subject the cultural interactions, misunderstandings, and conflicts between American and European sensibilities in the mid-nineteenth century. It revolves around two European-raised siblings, Eugenia M nster and Felix Young, who travel to Boston to visit their American relatives, the Wentworths. He embraces this new environment with delight and enthusiasm, while she, older and seeking a wealthy husband, is more skeptical and detached. With satiric skill and insight, James contrasts the puritanical, reserved nature of the New England family with the more sophisticated and free-spirited Europeans. His witty, nuanced story explores Old World and New World views and values, and the complexities of romance and relationship. This Warbler Classics edition includes an Introduction, a Note on the Text, Annotations, a Biographical Timeline, and Further Reading by William E. Cain.
