Two of Henry James best known and well renowned novellas together here. The Aspern Papers was first published 1888. One of James' best-known and most acclaimed longer tales, The Aspern Papers is based on the letters Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote to Mary Shelley's step sister, Claire Clairmont, who saved them until she died. Set in Venice, The Aspern Papers demonstrates James' ability to generate suspense while never neglecting the development of his characters. The Turn of the Screw, originally published in 1898, is a ghost story novella. Due to its ambiguous content, it became a favourite text of academics who subscribe to New Criticism. The novella has had differing interpretations, often mutually exclusive. Many have argued that the true brilliance of the novella comes with its ability to create an intimate confusion and suspense for the reader.
