In (at)lt;b(at)gt;The Turn of the Screw(at)lt;/b(at)gt;, a governess is haunted by ghosts from her young charges past; Virginia Woolf said of this masterpiece of psychological ambiguity and suggestion, We are afraid of something unnamed, of something, perhaps, in ourselves...Henry James...can still make us afraid of the dark.(at)lt;br(at)gt;(at)lt;br(at)gt;In his rarely anthologized novella (at)lt;b(at)gt;In the Cage(at)lt;/b(at)gt;, James brings his incomparable powers of observation to the story of a clever, rebellious heroine of Britain's lower middle class. Hortense Calisher, in her Introduction, calls it a delicious story, the more so because it confounds what we expect from James.
