nové vydání klasické anglické četby The Awkward Age(1899), written at a time when female
emancipation and the double standard were subjects of fierce debate, is
the most remarkable example of James's dramatic method.
The novel
traces the experiences of 18-year-old Nanda Brookenham, exposed to
corruption in the salon of her youthful, 'modern' mother, who, in
maintaining a circle where talk is shockingly sophisticated, 'must
sacrifice either her daughter or...her intellectual habits'. Does Nanda
reach maturity and self-knowledge in the lively company of handsome,
genial Vanderbank, whom she loves, and of ugly, intelligent, parvenu
Mitchy, who loves her? Or is she a symbol of sterile idealism, as she
clings to old Mr Longdon, with his memories of Nanda's grandmother, and
of an
aristocracy once untouched by money-troubles and dubious French novels?
A sense of suppressed violence lurks behind this powerful story of
virginal innocence and its importance in the marriage market.
