Fiction · 1898
The Turn of the Screw
A young governess takes charge of two children at a remote country house, and begins to see, on the tower and at the window, two figures she comes to believe are the ghosts of her predecessor and the master’s valet — and to believe that the children see them too. Henry James published the tale in 1898. Whether the ghosts are there at all has been argued ever since, which is what James intended.
The tale is given complete, with the Christmas Eve frame in which Douglas produces the governess’s manuscript and reads it aloud — the device that puts two removes between the reader and whatever happened at Bly.
