Published in 1880, "Washington Square" is one of James's early works and is considered a classic of American literature. The novel is set in the Washington Square neighborhood of New York City in the mid-19th century and follows the story of Catherine Sloper, a plain and unremarkable young woman who lives with her wealthy and domineering father, Dr. Austin Sloper. Catherine's life is overshadowed by her father's disappointment in her lack of beauty and charm, and she is often subjected to his criticisms and belittlements. When Catherine falls in love with a charming but penniless suitor named Morris Townsend, Dr. Sloper becomes convinced that Morris is only interested in Catherine's inheritance. He tries to persuade Catherine to break off the engagement, but she is torn between her love for Morris and her loyalty to her father. As the story unfolds, Catherine must navigate the complexities of love, duty, and self-discovery while facing the expectations and judgments of those around her. "Washington Square" is praised for its nuanced portrayal of character dynamics and its exploration of themes such as social class, familial relationships, and the nature of love. The novel has been adapted into various stage and film adaptations over the years and remains a beloved and enduring work in Henry James's literary legacy.
