Daisy Miller

About “Daisy Miller”

A beautiful American girl, Daisy Miller, is pursued by the sophisticated Winterbourne, who moves in conservative circles. Their courtship is disapproved of by other Americans in Switzerland and Italy because Daisy is seen as too lively and flirtatious, and she does not follow the social rules of their community. The novella explores differences between American and European attitudes and highlights social and cultural prejudice.
