Henry James was a master at tracing the social boundaries of the Gilded Age -- between Old and New World, Europe and America, desire and convention, men and women. He brought an invaluably clear-eyed, and critical, sensibility to America's evolving cultural mores.
Miles and Flora are two children who see ghostly apparitions. Their governess, a neurotic spinster, believes the specters morally dominate the children.
