Abstract
The first meeting of the characters of the novella by Henry James “Daisy Miller” takes place in the Swiss town of Vevey, the second one is in the “eternal city” of Rome. The art space in the novella is thus represented by two locations - Vevey and Rome. The resort town of Vevey is described as a picturesque area located on the shores of Lake Geneva at the foot of the mountain. Its connection with nature is emphasized. Rome is presented as a city with a history. The “Eternal City” with its ancient streets and parks, historical monuments reminiscent of its legendary past, cathedrals, triumphal arches and the Colosseum, although it does not, contrary to Daisy’s expectations, give the impression of a “dead city”, becomes her resting place. In addition to the geographical opposition, the novella implements the “cultural” opposition “periphery - centre”.
