Covering End

Henry James

4.9/5 (33908 ratings)

Description:A rich American widow saves an impoverished English aristocrat and his country-house property from the clutches of a business man, but not at the expense of her ‘conservative’ principles.Covering End is another of the 'lost' long tales by Henry James, which is strange since it is pendant to The turn of the screw, the best known of all the tales, in the book publication The two magics (1898). The explanation for this may lie in the fact that it was 'converted' by James from his original one-act play Summersoft, which was written for Ellen Terry but not performed. The tale bears distinct traces of its lineage, both in its structure and in the rather melodramatic change of heart by one of the principle characters. In fact, a later impresario persuaded James to turn the tale back into a play as the three-act The high bid, which was produced briefly in 1907.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
