One of Henry James's most engaging novels, The Europeans, takes as its subject the cultural interactions, misunderstandings, and conflicts between American and European sensibilities in the mid-nineteenth century. It revolves around two European-raised siblings, Eugenia Münster and Felix Young, who travel to Boston to visit their American relatives, the Wentworths. He embraces this new environment with delight and enthusiasm, while she, older and seeking a wealthy husband, is more skeptical and detached. With satiric skill and insight, James contrasts the puritanical, reserved nature of the New England family with the more sophisticated and free-spirited Europeans. His witty, nuanced story explores Old World and New World views and values, and the complexities of romance and relationship. This Warbler Classics edition includes an Introduction, a Note on the Text, Annotations, a Biographical Timeline, and Further Reading by William E. Cain.
