Daisy Miller, an American girl who lived in Italy and "possessed true innocence", was innocent, enthusiastic and cheerful. However, her informal and generous behavior in social situations and the way she interacted with men were not accepted by the European upper class and Americans who had been living in Europe for a long time. They considered her "tawdry", "frivolous" and "naturally vulgar". But Winterburn, an American young man living in Europe, paid no attention to these criticisms. He loved Daisy wholeheartedly, until a bad news suddenly came... Translation original description: The novella "Daisy Miller" was first published in serial form in the British "Cornhill Magazine" between June and July 1878.

In the same year, the British publishing company Macmillan published this novel and two short stories by Henry James in a collection in London, still titled "Daisy Miller: A Documentary Work." In 1909, Henry James significantly revised the novel and published it in a 24-volume collection of novels compiled by himself (the "New York Edition"). The title of the novel was changed to "Daisy Miller" when it was published. Although the 1909 "New York Edition" is the author's official version, most modern researchers believe that the literary quality of the "New York Edition" of "Daisy Miller" is worse than the first edition. Therefore, classic literary series such as "Penguin Classics" and "American Library" mostly use the 1879 edition instead of the 1909 "New York Edition" when collecting the novel. This translation is from the 2007 edition of "Daisy Miller" in "Penguin Classics" (the original version used is the 1879 British edition), and the translated title follows the "New York edition" in accordance with domestic practice.

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.

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.
