Al viajar por Europa con su familia, Daisy Miller, una joven estadounidense de una belleza exquisita, presenta a su compatriota Winterbourne un dilema que no puede resolver. ¿Está burlando deliberadamente las convenciones sociales de la manera franca en que habla y actúa, o simplemente ignora esas convenciones? Cuando entabla una amistad íntima con un joven italiano cortés, su rotunda negativa a observar los códigos de conducta respetable la deja peligrosamente expuesta. En Daisy Miller, James creó su primer gran retrato de la enigmática y peligrosamente independiente mujer estadounidense, una figura que llegaría a dominar sus últimas obras maestras.
IDIOMA ORIGINAL
Travelling in Europe with her family, Daisy Miller, an exquisitely beautiful young American woman, presents her fellow-countryman Winterbourne with a dilemma he cannot resolve. Is she deliberately flouting social convention in the outspoken way she talks and acts, or is she simply ignorant of those conventions? When she strikes up an intimate friendship with an urbane young Italian, her flat refusal to observe the codes of respectable behaviour leave her perilously exposed. In Daisy Miller James created his first great portrait of the enigmatic and dangerously independent American woman, a figure who would come to dominate his later masterpieces.
