Daisy Miller, Henry James’ novel of manners and morals, has been called one of his finest. It reveals America as a young, vibrant, and often careless society, while European culture appears as jaded, steeped in propriety and old-world values.  When Daisy Miller, a young American woman, visits Rome, she has no idea the local customs vary so much from her home. She sets tongues gossiping with her free-spirited actions, such as walking in public with men. She must be made aware of the inherent dangers that lie behind the different ways of doing things.  Daisy is as free as the air, but her garden of earthly pleasures stings with the thorns of youth, tradition, and love.
