Whose the writer of Daisy Miller?

The father of the American novel, Henry James. This novel is the first of his works that discuss the cultural differences between America and Europe. It is almost like seeing America as the flirtateous innocent young nation it was during the Victorian Age, who sees no class lines but rather is struggling with the freedom to judge people based on their individuality, their individual differences, rather than by their sameness, their classes. Daisy is a young American living in Europe, in Switzerland, when she encounters the ancient European rules of behavior for the different gender roles as well as the social classes. Her life, and death, actually teaches the Europeans to look at themselves more honestly than their rules usually has allowed them to do so. And, yet, like a child, she looks at the Europeans with a longing for their approval, their esteem, and it acts as a symbol for how America was looking for the same kind of esteem from its older relative, Europe, with tragic results, the result of all innocence in this world, death.



James is a very deep thinker, and his works are very complex works of art. Never has been so much written about an American author as Henry James, and with good cause.

Oh God... I had repressed the memory of reading that book. I had to read it for an undergrad lit class along with a few other of Henry James' stories. I hated every minute of it. He's got to be the most overrated author in the American canon.
