Reading for Wednesday: James' Revisions, pp.121-154

For Wednesday, I want you to read the section called "James' Revisions to The Turn of the Screw on pages 121-154.  Granted, much of this consists of word by word changes, or mere sentence changes.  Skim over most of it and note any interesting alterations.  However, I want you to specifically focus on pages 146-154, since this is a more detailed discussion of key changes that affect the meaning/interpretation of the work.  This is a great 'poetics' approach to reading the novel, and one that might inspire you for your Short Paper #2 (assignment below).
