The Pupil

By Henry James

Book Overview

The poor young man hesitated and procrastinated: it cost him such an effort to broach the subject of terms, to speak of money to a person who spoke only of feelings and, as it were, of the aristocracy.

Unusual James

This is a great tale from James' middle period. It's also, from my experience of James (Portrait, Wings of the Dove, and about a dozen short novels and stories), not what I expect from him. The family of the eponymous pupil is a great grotesque creation, comic and unfortunate, and the child himself is vividly drawn. Enjoy.
