The Spoils of Poynton de Henry James

The Spoils of Poynton

Autor Henry James
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 dec 2022
When Fleda Vetch, young and unattached, is befriended by the well-off Mrs. Gareth, she feels appreciated by the older woman in a way she hasn't before. Their friendship develops and Fleda comes to understand Mrs. Gareth's deep love of the magnificent belongings-art, textiles, furniture-that she and her now-deceased husband lovingly collected at their home at Poynton over the course of their marriage and travels. Mrs. Gareth doesn't want it all to go to the uncultured young woman her son Owen intends to marry; she believes Fleda will make a better daughter-in-law, one who will be deserving of her beloved treasures. Her schemes force Fleda to honestly consider her own desires, but they also threaten to bring heartache to everyone involved.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Mrs Gereth, widowed chatelaine of Poynton, is fighting to keep her house with its priceless objets d'art from her son Owen and his lovely, utterly philistine fiancée. When she discovers that her young friend and sympathizer Fleda Vetch is secretly in love with Owen, she thrusts her into the battle-line. The power struggle that ensues between the three women leaves Owen vacillating. What is at stake is not the mere possession of tables and chairs; it is, for Fleda, a conflict between aesthetic ideals, ethical imperatives, and her innermost feelings, in which she risks betraying, and being betrayed by, all that she holds most dear.

Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
