About This Novel
Nancy is an ambitious and decisive American woman living in Europe. Although she has experienced many failed marriages, she is still graceful, sexy and charming. She tried her best to cover up her past experience, and used various means to launch attacks on the British aristocracy, and finally captured Arthur Demesnay, a young aristocratic who had no experience in the world. However, Arthur's mother always suspected that her future daughter-in-law was an "irregular woman" and tried every means to find out her origins. Just at this moment, the person who knows Nancy's secret best appears... Translation description: The novella "The Siege of London" was first published in serial form in the American "Century Magazine" from January to February 1883. In the same year, it was included in the anthology "And" by the American publisher James R. Osgood and published in Boston. Almost at the same time, the novel was included in the novel anthology "" by Macmillan, a British publishing company, and published in London. Henry James lived in London for a long time during this period, and was able to personally guide and supervise the editing and publishing process of most of the British editions of his works at that time. Therefore, compared with the American editions, the British editions of his works often more faithfully reflect James' revisions. Based on the above considerations, the "American Library" edition of The Complete Works of Henry James adopts the British version when including this novel. This translation is from the "American Library" edition.
