So far I've read the Aspern Papers in this volume; The Turn of the Screw is on the syllabus for later this semester. I loved the ending. I think James maneuvers characters skillfully, transforming their roles and relationships to one another from line to line, reinterpreting them in light of other characters, and recasting them as themselves. I was interested in the use of first person narrative in this story, something I hadn't encountered yet in James' fiction.
