 JiffyNotes: Daisy Miller: Summary: Historical Context
Daisy Miller was published in 1878, in the English Cornhill Magazine, when James was 35 years old.
Its characters and themes were very much of the moment: In the 1870s, post-Civil War America was in the middle of an industrial boom which bestowed sudden wealth on many previously ordinary families.
Daisy Miller is one of his first and most famous forays into this terrain -- as well as one of his most interesting studies of character and psychology, especially of the minds of women, which would also fascinate him for the rest of his career.
