Synopsis
In THE WINGS OF THE DOVE, Kate Croy, a penniless young Englishwoman, tries to arrange a marriage between her fiancé Merton Densher and the American heiress she has befriended, knowing that Millie, the heiress, has a fatal illness and not long to live. Informed about the situation, Millie generously leaves her money to Densher anyway, as proof of her love for him. But Densher, conscience-stricken and devastated by this proof of purity and virtue, is unable to accept the money or to marry Kate, whom he now sees for the scheming opportunist she is.

Industry Reviews
"The ideal American rich girl has never really been done before, and it is safe to say that she will never again be done with such exquisite appreciation....Never...have I had a vivider sense of London..., a stronger sense of Venice, than in 'Wings of the Dove'."
North American Review - William Dean Howells (01/19/2003)

"[W]hat must surely be the most exhaustive attempt ever made of rendering the sensitivity or reflection of a tragic experience. It is the experience that matters; the aesthetic achievement is secondary....It is Milly's consciousness of her experience, and the consciousness of sin on the part of Kate and Densher, that make the novel great. It is an education, a growth of the moral sense in all involved, that is the 'reality' of the novel."
Twentieth-Century Literature - Joyce Carol Oates (10/01/1964)
