About This Book

The Golden Bowl is a 1904 novel by Henry James. Set in England, this complex, intense study of marriage and adultery completes what some critics have called the "major phase" of James's career. The Golden Bowl explores the inextricably woven and intertwined web of interrelationships between a father, Adam Verver, his daughter, Maggie Verver, and their respective spouses, Adam's wife Charlotte Stant, and Maggie's husband, Prince Amerigo. The novel focuses deeply and almost exclusively on the consciousness of the central characters, with sometimes obsessive detail but also with powerful insight.
