Synopsis

Whether viewed as a subtle, self-conscious exploration of the haunted house of Victorian culture, filled with echoes of sexual and social unease, or simply as 'the most hopelessly evil story we have ever read,' The Turn of the Screw is probably the most famous of ghostly tales and
certainly the most eerily equivocal. This new edition includes three rarely reprinted ghost stories from the 1890s, 'Sir Edmund Orme,' 'Owen Wingrave,' and 'The Friends of the Friends,' as well as relevant extracts from James's notebooks and journals.
