- Revised and expanded contextual materials, topically organized to promote classroom discussion: “James, the Ghost Story, and the Supernatural,” “James on The Turn of the Screw,” “Other Possible Sources for The Turn of the Screw,” and, new to the Third Edition, “Adaptations and Illustrations.”
- Thirty-two critical assessments—from early reactions to the present day—sixteen of them new to the Third Edition.
