"In The Turn of the Screw, a governess is haunted by ghosts from her young charges' past; Virginia Woolf said of this masterpiece of psychological ambiguity and suggestion, "We are afraid of something unnamed, of something, perhaps, in ourselves...Henry James...can still make us afraid of the dark."".

"In his rarely anthologized novella In the Cage, James brings his incomparable powers of observation to the story of a clever, rebellious heroine of Britain's lower middle class. Hortense Calisher, in her Introduction, calls it "a delicious story, the more so because it confounds what we expect from James.""--BOOK JACKET.
