About this book
Henry James's "Glasses" is a short story about Flora Saunt, a vain young beauty who risks her sight by refusing to wear the spectacles she needs. It suits readers interested in late-Victorian literary fiction and James's studies of vanity, perception, and social observation.
Henry James
