Unfinished at the time of James’s death in 1916, the Ivory Tower utilizes a classic Jamesian theme—American innocence transformed by European experience. Here, however, there’s a twist: the hero was raised abroad and returns to America with its immense Gilded Age fortunes to discover the corrupting effects of wealth and possessions.
