Sobre este artículo
Heinemann, London., 1898 [i.e. 1897]. First edition. Precedes the American edition by a month notwithstanding the fact that the title page gives the date MDCCCXCVIII. Octavo. pp [iv], 304. 32-page publisher's catalogue at rear. Turquoise cloth with blind decoration of irises to front.Contemporary (1898) ownership signature on front free endpaper. Endpapers faintly spotted. Rear inner hinge cracking but tight. Head and tail of spine a bit scuffed. Very good indeed.
Sinopsis
What Maisie Knew is a novel by Henry James, first published as a serial in the Chap Book and (revised and abridged) in the New Review in 1897 and then as a book later in the same year. The story of the sensitive daughter of divorced and irresponsible parents, What Maisie Knew has great contemporary relevance as an unflinching account of a wildly dysfunctional family.
