The Aspern Papers is a novella written by Henry James, originally published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1888, with its first book publication later in the same year. One of James's best-known and most acclaimed longer tales, The Aspern Papers is based on the letters Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote to Mary Shelley's step sister, Claire Clairemont, who saved them until she died. Set in Venice, The Aspern Papers demonstrates James's ability to generate suspense while never neglecting the development of his characters. James thought so highly of this story that he put it ahead of even The Turn of the Screw. Critics have almost unanimously agreed with him about the tale's superb quality. James builds suspense in a way that any mystery writer would admire, and the tension is not relieved until the final page. A nameless narrator goes to Venice to locate Juliana Bordereau, an old lover of Jeffrey Aspern, a famous and now dead American poet...

小说以第一人称手法讲述了主人公(一位美国文学编辑)苦心探寻一位杜撰的伟大诗人阿斯本(影射拜伦)文稿的故事。当他得知诗人的情妇还在世,且可能掌握着阿斯本的遗稿(写给她的情书)时,特意来到她和她的一位尚未结婚的老侄女同住的一所威尼斯住宅,假装成房客住了进去,接着与两位女人展开了戏剧性的周旋。为了得到这份遗稿,主人公甚至愿意和老侄女结婚。当后者看穿他其实是有意利用她自己的一片痴情,以此来达到获取文稿的企图时,她果断地将文稿全部烧毁。主人公的苦心积虑也随之化为了灰烬。该小说的故事情节充满了象征意义,折射出一种"私密化"的文学阅读模式,一种具有浪漫色彩的好奇心。读者试图阅读的不仅是作家的作品,也是作家私密的个人生活。
