  • Les Dépouilles de Poynton (The Spoils of Poynton) est un roman américain de Henry James, paru en 1897. Il s'agit d'un des plus courts romans de l'auteur qui, sans être considéré comme une de ses œuvres majeures, est certainement un de ses récits les plus efficaces. L'âpre récit est celui d'une lutte, racontée selon le point de vue de la jeune Fleda Vetch, entre Mrs. Gereth et son fils Owen pour la conservation d'une grande demeure bourgeoise et des objets d'art qu'elle abrite. Le roman, d'abord publié en feuilleton dans The Atlantic Monthly en 1896 sous le titre The Old Things (Les Vieilles Choses), est repris en volume l'année suivante sous son titre actuel. La traduction française, signée Simone David, ne paraît aux éditions Calmann-Lévy qu'en 1954. (fr)

  • The Spoils of Poynton (em português, Os espólios de Poynton) é um romance de Henry James, primeiramente publicado sob o título de The Old Things (As velharias) em The Atlantic Monthly, como série em 1896, e como livro em 1897. Este romance breve descreve a luta entre a sra. Gereth, uma viúva de gosto impecável e vontade de ferro, e seu filho Owen, em relação a uma casa repleta de móveis antigos de valor. A história é contada principalmente sob a perspectiva de Fleda Vetch, uma jovem apaixonada por Owen, mas simpatizante com a angústica da sra. Gereth de perder as antiguidades que pacientemente colecionou. (pt)
