Blurb: 
In 1914, Henry James began work on a major novel about the immense new fortunes of the Gilded Age. Set among the great houses and sweeping sea views of Newport, Rhode Island, with the backroom deals and enduring animosities of New York"s financial world lurking in the background, The Ivory Tower explores the predicaments of Rosanna Gaw and Graham Felder, heirs to two rival tycoons. The good intentions of these fine young people make them the perfect instruments through which their benefactors can pursue their own ambitions, even from beyond the grave.
