    The narrator insists on your attention throughout
  

*by K***O on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2022*

With the proviso, understanding that reading aloud is a difficult undertaking, the narrator’s apparently self imposed accent of mid-Atlantic origin. It grows thicker as her self enjoyment grows. The accent disappears when she forgets herself. Immediately upon abandoning that accent, her reading relaxes and becomes bearable. Her abandonment seems to occur when she becomes immersed in the book. Thus, we are subjected to navigating the book through her affectation, between the moments during which she herself finds the book interesting. Additionally, the accent is more appropriate to a Victorian novel. This novel, the Golden Bowl, is not Victorian. Moreover, it is a distinctly American novel. Thus, Narrator‘ s insistence seems even more an affectation rather than a stylistic choice. In general, one hopes rather to be

    The deepest pleasures of a masterwork--but only for the mature, meditatively reflective few.
  

*by P***P on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2007*

This last completed novel of Henry James, the third of his three culminating masterworks, is not for the reader who doesn't understand that there is a difference between high, difficult, art and pop art--and that the difference has nothing whatever to do with class or politics or social status, but rather with depth, complexity, subtlety, and virtuosity of articulated nuance.The storyline is fairly simple (easy to look up), but what makes the book most rewarding, read after read, is the way that Henry James brings dramatically to life, with unexpected richness of texture, every feeling of passion, ambivalence, anxiety, and inner conflict of the Prince, his lover Charlotte, her husband (Mr. Verver),the Prince's wife (Mr. Verver's daughter, Maggie), and the Assinghams.Like "Hamlet" or a late Beethoven quartet, one learns to savor "The Golden Bowl" through repeated performances--except here, the reader must do the performing, a daunting challenge that takes patience and a concentration of intelligence that few enough people are interested in cultivating or even capable of. What is the reward for essaying to make James's visionary work one's own visionary work? In a word, it is the life-enriching experience of what Shelley once called "transforming enlargements of the imagination."

    One of the greats
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2014*

This would be on my list of ten greatest novels ever written -- or at least in my personal universe.James is the master of moral ambiguity, which he brings to his most painful and cruel apex in this novel.There's too much to say about it to fit into a little amazon review, but one of the things I most love aboutit is that the reader is left no comfortable place to "stand."  James leaves us no character with whom we canfully identify and not question what that says about us.  IF the theme of this story had to be summed upin a capsule (an idea which James, of course, would ridicule), it might be that no moral failure happensin a vacuum, and that individual people determine more of each others' characters than they perhaps intend to.  And,as Lionel Trilling always taught his students, "follow the money."It's possible that the novel as a form got as perfect as it's ever going to get with James, and that this is his best,so if you care about novels, you want to read this one more than once, and to live with it, and to let itaffect you.
