The Turn of the Screw is a novella written by Henry James. Originally published in 1898, it is ostensibly a ghost story. Due to its ambiguous content, it became a favorite text of academics who subscribe to New Criticism. The novella has had differing interpretations, often mutually exclusive. Many critics have tried to determine the exact nature of the evil hinted at by the story. It is probably the most famous, certainly the most eerily equivocal, of all ghostly tales. A young, inexperienced governess is charged with the care of Miles and Flora, two small children abandoned by their uncle at his grand country house. She sees the figure of an unknown man on the tower and his face at the window. It is Peter Quint, the master's dissolute valet, and he has come for little Miles. But Peter Quint is dead.A literary masterpiece whose mysteries are open to endless interpretation-'The Turn of the Screw' has been haunting readers for more than a century.
