In this essay, I consider Henry James's Turn of the Screw as a class allegory, and argue that the readers can reach to the center of the story's reflections on social hierarchy. By considering James's reference to India, I argue that by reading Turn of the Screw in the light of materialist and historical critique, we can find echoes of the British Empire resonating in the text, and insist that it is possible to read aspects of the novel as alluding to the existence of a British colonialist system.
