The Siege of London first appeared within the Cornhill Magazine in January—February 1883. The magazine have been edited until the year before by Leslie Stephen, who was simply the father of Virginia Woolf. James was in fact a friend of the family, and it is highly likely that Leslie Stephen had personally accepted the storyplot for the magazine. The primary theme of the story is fairly easy to understand and it is directly related to its slightly ironic title. Mrs Headway lays siege to London in the sense of establishing her right to a location in its upper social echelons. She is an ambitious and very determined woman with a fairly murky past, which technically should prohibit her from making such inroads.
