A major literary masterpiece by Henry James, featuring an introduction by Denis Donoghue in this edition. First published in 1904, The Golden Bowl is one of James's most sophisticated and psychologically complex novels.

The story centers on Prince Amerigo, Maggie Verver, her wealthy father Adam Verver, and Charlotte Stant. When hidden relationships and past romantic attachments threaten their marriages and friendships, the characters become entangled in a subtle drama of love, deception, loyalty, and moral responsibility. The "golden bowl" of the title serves as a powerful symbol of apparent perfection concealing a hidden flaw.
