"The Turn of the Screw" is a horror novella by Henry James, first published in
serial format in Collier's Weekly in 1898. The story follows a governess
caring for two children at a remote estate who becomes convinced that the
grounds are haunted. The novella is considered a work of both Gothic and
horror fiction and has undergone several major transformations in critical
analysis since its publication. The novella has been adapted several times,
including a Broadway play, a chamber opera, two films, and a miniseries. The
novella alludes to Jane Eyre and Ann Radcliffe's Gothic novel The Mysteries of
Udolpho. The novella has been subject to various interpretations, including
psychoanalytic, Marxist, and feminist approaches. The story's ambiguity has
been a subject of debate among critics, with some suggesting that the
supernatural elements were figments of the governess' imagination.
