Daisy Miller: A Study (1879) tells the story of a spirited young American woman traveling in Europe, whose unconventional behavior clashes with European social norms. One of James's most popular and admired novels, it explores and dramatizes his interest in the "international theme," contrasting American innocence with European sophistication and the misunderstandings that result. James challenges gender roles, portraying Daisy as an early feminist figure who asserts her individual freedom and pays a price for doing so. This Warbler Classics edition, prepared by William E. Cain, includes an introduction, a note on the text, annotations, a biographical timeline, and further reading.
