Beschreibungen/Notizen
For a writer as inventive as Henry James the words 'charm' and 'charming' slip off his pen with surprising and even irritating frequency. The words in Daisy Miller are so common that they easily slide under the radar. Yet James helps people realize that something is always at work when the epithet 'charming' is deployed, or the noun and the verb, to charm and be charmed. Here, Poole explores some of the connections between these apparently trivial uses and their larger motives and effects.
