From the apparitions of evil that haunt the governess in The Turn of the Screw to the startling self-scrutiny of an egotistical man in The Beast in the Jungle, the mysterious turnings of human behavior are coolly and masterfully observedproving Henry James to be a master of psychological insight as well as one of the finest prose stylists of modern English literature.
