"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.
