"[Alfred the Great's] unique importance in the history of English letters comes from his conviction that a life without knowledge or reflection was unworthy of respect..."

Washington Square
I've just finished reading Washington Square by Henry James. It is a very interesting, and sometimes infuriating, little book, where the drama takes place almost entirely on the psychological level. It was a bit difficult to get through since I didn’t like a single character in the story, although I’m glad I finished it because James has some keen insight into human nature.
