A literary masterpiece and one of James’s greatest works, The Wings of the Dove follows a young heiress struck with a mortal disease, a romantic betrayal, and a secret plot to inherit her fortune, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Classics Line.

Inspired by his beloved cousin’s death by tuberculosis, The Wings of the Dove is James’s most personal work as well as one of his most well-known. Mille Theale, a young heiress with a life-shortening disease, is determined to live out the remainder of her life to the fullest. The novel follows her impact on those around her, including on the honorable Merton Densher and the predatory Kate Croy, who conspires to acquire Mille’s wealth.

Henry James (1843–1916) was an influential American novelist, short story writer, and critic, celebrated as a central figure in transatlantic literature for his mastery of psychological realism and elegant prose. His most enduring works—The Portrait of a Lady, The Turn of the Screw, and The Wings of the Dove—redefined the modern novel through their subtlety, ambiguity, and emotional depth.
