Description

Unlock the more straightforward side of What Maisie Knew with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of What Maisie Knew by Henry James, which follows a young girl called Maisie and the toll that her parents' divorce and remarriages take on her. Her parents are shown to care very little about her as a person, and simply use her as a weapon to hurt each other. Through Maisie's limited perceptions and understandings, Henry James paints a portrait of the ways that lies and infidelity can destroy relationships and tarnish the innocence of the children of those involved. What Maisie Knew is one of James's best-known works, alongside classics including The Ambassadors and The Portrait of a Lady. He was particularly well-known for the acute psychological insight of his writing, which was far ahead of its time.
