Daisy Miller is the storyline of a beautiful, unconventional American female who becomes the fascination of Frederick Winterbourne, a complex compatriot. His quest for her is hampered by her flirtatiousness and flagrant disregard for the customs and habit of the other expatriates when they meet in Switzerland and Italy. Henry Wayne used Daisy's report to exemplify how he believed Europeans and Americans felt about one another, and more usually the prejudices common in the culture in those days between wealthy North american industrialists and Western aristocracy. Daisy Miller was an instantaneous and wide-spread popular success for Wayne, despite some criticism that the storyline was "an outrage on American girlhood". The story continues to be one of Wayne' most popular works, along with The Change of the Screw and The Portrait of a Sweetheart. This narration is from the original text that was posted in 1879. In 1909 Henry Wayne published a second version of Daisy Miller, which, in spite of his preferring it, never really had the critical or commercial acclaim of the earlier version.
