- THE TURN OF THE SCREW by Henry James
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The Turn of the Screw, originally published in 1898, is a novella written by Henry James. The story, a part of gothic and ghost story genres, first appeared in serial format in Collier's Weekly magazine (January 27 - April 16, 1898). In October 1898 it appeared in The Two Magics, a book published by Macmillan in New York City and Heinemann in London.
Due to its original content, The Turn of the Screw became a favourite 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. However, others have argued that the brilliance of the novella results from its ability to create an intimate sense of confusion and suspense within the reader.

🫶🏼👏🏼
ILY for this
I'm studying this novella as part of the first year of my English lit degree. This is my second reading and I'm reading along with the audio, stopping at the end of each chapter and jotting down my thoughts and observations. A lovely experience, so far!
I’m only a soft more why I gotta do this😭
Who is here because of The Haunting of Bly Manor
Dear me! I was wondering why the book seemed so familiar to me, when I realized that I watched the show "The Haunting of Bly Manor" and damn, that series is an adaptation of this book. I loved the show, I LOVE LOVE the book!
Yes, also 'The Romance of Certain Old Clothes,' another novel by Henry James. That one concludes the story of the Willoughby family.
There may be a reader or two her equal, but there is none I'd prefer to this young woman's stunningly gracious classical voice.
@@jameshoyle8950 You are wrong; her name is Elizabeth Klatt, and that is just her voice. There is obviously a performative element to it, given she's performing first person narration, but that is pretty much what she sounds like
@@MrRyanbtw ah ok cool. My apologies 😊
By far, one of the best reading of this story. The voice and accent of the reader is right on spot! She is just a volunteer, she didn't have to do this for us. I tip my hat for her great performance, and no, i am not reading this for any class assignment, such days are way behind me :)
@@MrRyanbtw no im sure she is well spoken but this is fantASTICALLY read. you hear her real voice come out in tiny spatters- n class is a BIG part of this novel and so it is no chance just a very effective and subtle narrative performance
@gerard dearie she is not american...? You are nit telling me it's her saying the librivox bit? i had thought it at first but thought i was being crazy that it was too good otherwise
Who’s here cuz they don’t want to read the book for class 🖐
ur kidding right henry james is the best
Yeah
@@kathleenfahey3621 hello sir/miss, I am reading this book for a study and I am wondering the meaning of the title? Do you know.
@@lazerxs660 “The Turn of the Screw” refers to the horror and suspense. When we want to tighten a screw, we turn it to the right. That’s essentially what this story is doing. At 2:10 Douglas does something to explain the title
Y'all have horror books for class ? I wish I had this book for school

So I didn’t understand the book at all
Tara Gaza If you want to read a modern day retelling of this book that’s easier to understand, try The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware!
Don't worry, no one else does either, so people just say that he's complicated and ambiguous and declare him a genius
What do you not understand?
@@jojodogface6557 Something can be understandable and ambiguous at the same time. Don’t push your inability to take the time to understand James off into an entire community….
Whos here because they had to read the book for class then realized it's the story of Bly Manor?✋
Yep.
I’m here because this book has been adapted to film 27 times and I find that fascinating 🧐
Bly manner added much
@@murtamp9828 27??????
Vice versa but yeah, haha. For some reason film is currently obsessed with adapting Henry James…
Beautifully read, thank you.
Amazing story and reading!
Did not realize this was the wrong version. My professor assigned us to read the 1915 version and now I've gone an hour past where I was supposed to stop lol
Very good job guys! I enjoyed the reading a lot! Thank you very much
A delightful reading very well done.
I would love to have Carla Gugino of “The Haunting” series to read this. She has such a calming voice. This reader isn’t too bad though. Love this book and I’m only a quarter way through. Such a great read
As long as she doesn't do the accent
Elisabeth Klett narrated dozens of novels, she has "fans". I'm one!
I love this lady's voice.
I just watched "The Turn" it started out okay, but the ending wasn't good. Never read this book, so I'm now listening to this audibook to get a more indepth understanding of the characters in this story. I don't think that the movie did them justice. I'm guessing that the story is similar to the Yellow Wall Paper which I did read. Anyway this is what brought me here. (And also something to listen to while cleaning the house 😂). Thank-you for posting.
Did not expect that ending...
Im here cause I don’t have the book cause I’m too young to read it that’s what my dad said
i feel weird being here for reasons other than school
Why is there moaning in the background starting at 4:30:47?? If you can't hear it turn the volume all the way up. I've never been more confused in my life😭
😂

I had a better time reading this novel than listening to this. Something about the way she draws out her words..

Great narration1 But why are the comments only time stamps?
chapter marks / bookmarks
ya i think its ppl marking where they left off lol, kinda smart tbh
@@timberterran9099 alright, that makes sense.
i've read and listened to other books from this era and none of them are as needlessly wordy as this. Also this narrator comes off as too...I don't know, posh for this story so it doesn't help.
I'm here because of the movie the turning 😅

Is it just me or was that shit overly complicated garbage? And not just because of the language, but rather because the story is circular and dry, and the characters act not like real people, but like blundering cartoon characters
that’s just how it was back then. not my favorite book that’s for sure
@gerard dearie wow really witty response. Sounds like someones a wittle bit angrwy. You're stupid as fuck don't try to respond to me
Complicated? No . Ambiguous? Yes. That is the point of the story. There are two stories here. The first where the governess is heroically trying to save the souls of two innocent children. The second where the governess is young, overly imaginative, and slowly goes insane. What actually happened is unclear. Although, I tend to favor the ghostly interpretation. The description she gave of Quint is very intriguing. Did she kill little Miles? Or did Quint take him?
is the accent british?

fuck it. This is too boring. I'm reading sparknotes. I cant do it
chapman
For all of you school-age slackers:
Watch "The Innocents" (1961) and look over the Cliff Notes...congratulations, you at least got a B. That said, you should just read the damn story because it's actually good. You're welcome!
Sincerely,
A Cultured (but helpful) Graduate
P. S. It's more interesting than MOST Charles Dickens novels and "The Turn of the Screw" becomes interesting at the end of Chapter 3 and stays interesting until the end...in other words, (again,) you should just read it. It's a ghost story! Enjoy it!
sorry i think you mean 'all'
Although i cant resist the slightly cheap and facetiout retort that is begging- but i don't think the school age slackers you are addressing are snarling to the screens 'UGH....HENRY JAMES...ffs they've got Great expectations on the syllabus...
I have no idea what you are trying to say but ok...
You misspelled facetious, your use of an acronym annoys me (I grow tired of people who can't just say what they want to say but that's just me) and if you took a minute to look over the comments of this video, you'd likely notice about half of them are from students complaining about having to read The Turn of the Screw. So, regardless of anything else, your retort is completely invalid, pointless and sounds like the ramblings of a drunkard who is trying to be witty...take it from a drunkard...
Either way, I was simply trying to help out frustrated kids by telling them the most affective way to cheat (because if they're going to be lazy and do it, they should at least know how to do it well,) while simultaneously telling them that it's a good story and they should just read the damn thing. So, in reality, I was actually promoting reading, which I think we can agree is a good thing. I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic, trying to belittle me or weirdly agreeing with me but either way, I believe that we have common ground in that Great Expectations is boring as hell and Dickens is overrated but then again, perhaps that too was sarcasm.
This reader's attitude is too haughty for this book. It works for some stories, not for all. Not for this one.
Very good English accent, except the word 'passage' which is used in various contexts, is always pronounced with hard 'a's - no one in any region of Britain would say 'parsage' otherwise well read.
