The Beautiful Child [electronic resource]
Tennant, Emma2013
eBook
We read Henry James’s unfinished tale, The Beautiful Child, with its chilling depiction of cruelty and neglect, which he abandoned in 1902. And we learn about the terrifying scandal behind James’s inability to proceed with his story of a couple who beseech a fashionable artist to paint the child they never had – a scandal involving the alcoholic Mr and Mrs Smith who had served James for many years. Will the chief guest at a house party, an English professor, solve the mystery of the hauntings at James’s home, Lamb House, in Rye? This book fills out the unfinished story and ends on a note of terror that would surely have been appreciated by the master himself.
