The Bostonians (English Library) Paperback - 1984
by Charles R. Anderson
Summary
First published in 1886, The Bostonians is one of James' wittiest social satires. It begins with the arrival in Boston of Basil Ransom, in search of a career. The book turns on the relationship between Ransom, a conservative civil war veteran, his feminist cousin Olive Chancellor, and Verena Tarrant, a newcomer to their circle whose affections are sought by both Olive and Basil.James' ambivalence towards the reformist movement is made plain in this novel, which is crowded with eccentric and colourful characters. The narrative moves us in turns to sneer at the Boston reformers and to sympathise with Olive as she struggles to keep the reformist flame burning in her protege's heart.

Description:
London, England: Penguin Classics, 1984. Paperback. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7? - 9?" tall. Trade Paperback in Good +Condition. Edited and with an Introduction and Notes by Charles R. Anderson. Clean pictorial wrappers, with illustration of "Sita and Sarita" by Cecilia Beaux; crease to lower front corner, faint creasing to spine. Soundly bound, square. Pages clean, in first 100 or so pages there is an occasional pencil note beside text and underlined text, otherwise clean, moderately toned. A Victorian novel of love and marriage--and a novel of ideas--does it embody the triumph of chauvinism, or mourn the collapse of avant-garde feminism? It is the story of Basil Ransome, a Mississippi lawyer, Olive Chancellor, a radical feminist, and their struggle for exclusive possession of the beautiful Verena Tarrant. 438 pages with Notes. 7.8 x 5 inches. Penguin Classics, London, England, 1984.
