Bostonians

Henry James's &quote;The Bostonians&quote; is the story of Mississippi Lawyer and Civil War veteran Basil Ransom's conflict with his cousin Olive Chancellor for the allegiance and affection of Boston feminist Verena Tarrant. First serialized in &quote;The Century Magazine&quote; between 1885-1886, &quote;The Bostonians&quote; deals heavily with the then very timely political issue of feminism and the changing role of women in society.
