A Bundle of Letters
Transcribed from the 1887 Macmillan and Co. edition by David Price. Proofing by Andy McLauchan and David Stapleton
"A Bundle of Letters" by Henry James is a collection of letters written during the late 19th century. The book presents the correspondence of various characters, providing insights into their thoughts and experiences as they navigate the complexities of life in Paris. The likely topic centers around cultural observations and personal reflections, particularly regarding the role of women and the contrasts between American and European society. The narrative unfolds through exchanged letters, primarily from Miss Miranda Mope, who recounts her experiences in Paris, sharing her views on the cultural differences she perceives compared to her hometown of Bangor, Maine. Through her letters, she explores the lives of other American expatriates and their interactions with French locals, including her encounters with other young women and a charming French gentleman, Mr. Verdier. As she immerses herself in the local culture, Miranda reflects on her growth, her evolving perspective on femininity, and the broader social dynamics around her, revealing the intricacies of personal identity, societal expectations, and the pursuit of self-discovery in a foreign land.
