Cranford Classic Novels Collection - The Bostonians by Henry James - Slightly Imperfect
The Bostonians is a novel by Henry James, first published as a serial in The Century Magazine in 1885–1886 and then as a book in 1886.
This bittersweet tragicomedy centres on an odd triangle of characters: Basil Ransom, a political conservative from Mississippi; Olive Chancellor, Ransom's cousin and a Boston feminist; and Verena Tarrant, a pretty, young protégée of Olive's in the feminist movement.
The storyline concerns the struggle between Ransom and Olive for Verena's allegiance and affection, though the novel also includes a wide panorama of political activists, newspaper people, and quirky eccentrics. 354 pages.
The Cranford collection of beautifully-made, hard cover novels includes many of the world's most successful and popular authors. Each edition measures 24cm x 17cm.
PLEASE NOTE: This copy is new and sealed, but we have identified some minor, cosmetic issues, either with the cover or the page edges. The book itself is complete and highly readable.
