<P> Daisy Miller is a novella by Henry James that first appeared in Cornhill Magazine in June--July 1878, and in book form the following year . It portrays the courtship of the beautiful American girl Daisy Miller by Winterbourne, a sophisticated compatriot of hers . His pursuit of her is hampered by her own flirtatiousness, which is frowned upon by the other expatriates when they meet in Switzerland and Italy . </P> <P> Annie "Daisy" Miller and Frederick Winterbourne first meet in Vevey, Switzerland, in a garden of the grand hotel, where Winterbourne is allegedly vacationing from his studies (an attachment to an older lady is rumoured). They are introduced by Randolph Miller, Daisy's nine - year - old brother . Randolph considers their hometown of Schenectady, New York, to be absolutely superior to all of Europe . Daisy, however, is absolutely delighted with the continent, especially the high society she wishes to enter . </P> <P> Winterbourne is at first confused by her attitude, and though greatly impressed by her beauty, he soon determines that she is nothing more than a young flirt . He continues his pursuit of Daisy in spite of the disapproval of his aunt, Mrs. Costello, who spurns any family with so close a relationship to their courier as the Millers have with their Eugenio . She also thinks Daisy is a shameless girl for agreeing to visit the Château de Chillon with Winterbourne after they have known each other for only half an hour . The next day, the two travel to Château de Chillon and although Winterbourne had paid the janitor for privacy, Daisy is not quite impressed . Winterbourne then informs Daisy that he must go to Geneva the next day . Daisy feels disappointment and chaffs him, eventually asking him to visit her in Rome later that year . </P> <P> In Rome, Winterbourne and Daisy meet unexpectedly in the parlor of Mrs. Walker, an American expatriate, whose moral values have adapted to those of Italian society . Rumors about Daisy meeting with young Italian gentlemen make her socially exceptionable under these criteria . Winterbourne learns of Daisy's increasing intimacy with a young Italian of questionable society, Giovanelli, as well as the growing scandal caused by the pair's behaviour . Daisy is undeterred by the open disapproval of the other Americans in Rome, and her mother seems quite unaware of the underlying tensions . Winterbourne and Mrs. Walker attempt to persuade Daisy to separate from Giovanelli, but she refuses . </P>
