This made her involuntarily involved in a high-society dispute. Love turmoil... The novella "In the Cage" was first published in 1898. It has a wonderful conception. Together with "The Turn of the Screw" published earlier in the same year, it is a representative novella in the later period of Henry James's writing career and has always been valued by critics. French postmodernist philosophers Deleuze and Guattari once conducted an incisive analysis of this novel in their book "A Thousand Plateaus". This is the first time this novel has been translated and published in the country in more than 120 years since its publication. Explanation of the original translation: When the novella "In the Cage" was first published, it appeared as a single book. It was published by the British publisher Duckworth & Co. In London in August 1898. In September of the same year, the American publishing company Herbert S. Stone & Co. Published the American version of the book in New York. Since Henry James lived in London for a long time during this period, he was able to personally guide and supervise the editing and publishing process of the British edition of most of his works at that time. Therefore, the British edition of his works often reflects James's revisions more accurately than the American edition. Therefore, the "American Library" edition of the Complete Works of Henry James uses the 1898 British edition when including this novel. This translation is from the "American Library" edition.
