"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you." -- Matthew 7:1-2 (NKJV)Daisy Miller is the essence of a well-written novella: deep characterizations developed through a variety of interactions, minimal prose to capture a point, carefully balanced action that rounds out a message, plenty of exhibition of internal thoughts and feelings, and stark contrasts in personal philosophies. While brief, this book contains enough food for thought to provide entertaining dinner conversation for years.Although Daisy Miller is the title character and the most appealing character in the book, Henry James uses Frederick Winterbourne to convey his points, both as narrator and as an American expatriate who is not at home entirely in either Europe or the United States. Winterbourne finds much that is appealing about Daisy Miller, but he's also concerned about maintaining his social standing in the expatriate community, a community that's filled with concerns about appearances.Daisy Miller is what might call a 20th century woman, emancipated from concerns about money by having a rich father, free to try her hand at life because her mother is overwhelmed by her parental responsibilities, and filled with enthusiasm for life. Embracing American values of taking everyone in as a fellow human, her behavior drives the expatriates wild.Lest you think it's all about freedom versus social snobbery, James takes pains to point out that there are real costs when freedom is misused.So no one gets a free pass in this novella. That's a major part of its charm. All the characters have weaknesses, flaws, and vulnerabilities. That makes them, well, almost human.While some characters are drawn in very negative terms, it's more for contrast with Daisy ... rather than as a deliberate attempt to create cartoon characters.Some of the scenes are so beautifully written they'll take your breath away with the possibilities that they evoke. That's the brilliance of James at work. Enjoy those!

By Warrior Princess
When Henry James published his novella "Daisy Miler" back in 1878, his story won immediate and popular success despite some criticism that the story was "an outrage on American girlhood." But neither the critics nor Henry James himself could imagine the new life his book and his characters would acquire at the pen of Gabrielle Vigot. And the new kind of outrage it would create, in an exciting way.In Vigot's version, Daisy Miller is no longer just flirtatious, she is a wild and wanton young woman who is defying the set morals of the late 1800's, the limitations of time and society, and expectations of women. This novella is hot, steamy, and sexy, but what appeals to me the most is the rebellious and feisty nature of Daisy Miller.An engaging read. You won't be disappointed.

One of Henry James's earliest novellas, Daisy Miller (1878) follows the activities of a wealthy, and brashly confident, young American woman as she audaciously challenges European society in Vevey, Switzerland, and in Rome, having fun, doing what pleases her, and leaving staid European society gasping in her wake. Daisy Miller, whose father is in the US and whose mother is her ineffectual "chaperone," is a free spirit in a society bound by unstated but rigid "rules," determined to do whatever she wants, whenever she wants, with whomever she chooses.Frederick Winterbourne, an ex-patriot who has spent most of his life in Geneva, is attracted to Daisy, but his bonds with his stuffy aunt, Mrs. Cosgrove, and her friend, Mrs. Walker, both of whom govern ex-patriot society in Europe, leave him ill-equipped to deal with Daisy's flouting of society's conventions. When she is obviously attracted to Mr. Giovanelli, a singer/musician of no social standing, and when she is seen with him publicly in places that a "nice" girl would not grace at night, her reputation is threatened, and anyone associated with her is tainted. Winterbourne is uncertain how to protect her, while, not incidentally, protecting his own reputation.Developing his most famous theme, James considers the conflicts between American and European values and the naivete of the Americans and their spontaneity as it contrasts with the old world formality of the Europeans. Daisy, who is often foolishly na've, is also seen as brash and ego-centric, a young woman whose destiny cannot be avoided (or even predicted) because of the strength of her own, often wrong, willfulness.James focuses on two characters here--both Daisy and Winterbourne--and though the story is told from Winterbourne's point of view, Daisy is often the more vibrant of the two characters. Though she is shallow and assertive, he is hidebound by convention, leaving both characters with limits in terms of reader identification. When a night-time dalliance leads to serious consequences for Daisy, the reader is neither surprised nor shocked.Filled with trenchant observations about Americans and their differences from Europeans, the novel incorporates significant symbols--the Coliseum (associated with innocent Christian martyrs), malaria (to which Americans are particularly susceptible), Randolph (Daisy's rude and undisciplined 10-year-old brother, the ugliest of Americans), and Mrs. Cosgrove and Mrs. Walker (converts to the European way of life). Carefully observed and critical of American naivete, Daisy Miller is the "preface" to Portrait of a Lady and many of James's more fully developed novels. Mary Whipple
