Jacob's Room is the third novel by Virginia Woolf, first published on October 26th 1922. The novel centers, in a very ambiguous way, around the life story of the protagonist Jacob Flanders, and is presented entirely by the impressions other characters have of Jacob [except for those times when we do indeed get Jacob's perspective]. Thus, although it could be said that the book is primarily a character study and has little in the way of plot or background, the narrative is constructed as a void in place of the central character, if indeed the novel can be said to have a 'protagonist' in conventional terms. Motifs of emptiness and absence haunt the novel and establish its elegiac feel. Jacob is described to us, but in such indirect terms that it would seem better to view him as an amalgamation of the different perceptions of the characters and narrator. He does not exist as a concrete reality, but rather as a collection of memories and sensations.

The Turn of the Screw, first published in serial format in 1898, is the chilling tale of a young woman who accepts a job as governess—that is, as teacher—of two lovely young children who seem to be haunted by the spirits of a former governess and her lover, both now dead. David Gorman’s introduction is designed to help first-time readers of the tale by providing a brief historical backdrop to this tale of a haunted house and by laying out the central critical controversy that surrounds it: whether this ghost story is not about ghosts at all, or rather a probing of the psyche of a narrator who madly imagines that two ghosts threaten her young charges.　　《螺丝在拧紧》是一部描写心理的恐怖小说，它的作者是美国十九世纪的作家亨利·詹姆斯。 　　一些批评家把它归入幻想文学、恐怖文学或哥特式小说。实际上它还是一部心理剧，讲述女主人公意识经受考验的过程。女主人公作为家庭女教师受雇去一个庄园照顾小孩子迈尔斯和弗罗拉。这位女教师在她任职期间，感到她的前任和庄园男仆的鬼魂时常在庄园显现，同时她又想从迈尔斯、弗罗拉和女管家格罗斯太太那里证实自己看到的并非幻像。这些鬼魂有意伤害庄园里的孩子们，使他们变得狡黠，女主人公的营救过程变得更加复杂。
