The tale of Daisys irruption into staid European society enjoyed, as did Daisy herself, a succes de scandale; and it has remained one of Jamess most popular short stories. Like the others collected here-Pandora, The Patagonia, and Four Meetings- it describes a confrontation betweendifferent values in a changing world. Is the new independent American girl enchanting in her spontaneity, alarming in her unpredictability, or merely vulnerable in her ignorance of social codes? Hung about wit make admirers who seek, uncertainly, to grasp the new phenomenon, Daisy marches onundiscourageable, to her triumphant-or tragic-destiny. This volume contains prefaces by Henry James, a chronology of his life, and editors notes.
