The Spoils of Poynton is a novel by Henry James, first published under the title The Old Things as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly in 1896 and then as a book in 1897.

Mrs. Gereth, a widow of impeccable taste and iron will, formed the collection over decades only to have it torn away from her when her son Owen decides to marry a frivolous woman. The story is largely told from the viewpoint of Fleda Vetch, a keenly intelligent young woman of straitened circumstances who, shortly after becoming the intimate friend and companion of Mrs. Gereth, falls in love with Owen.

  • Le spoglie di Poynton è un romanzo dello scrittore statunitense Henry James, inizialmente pubblicato a puntate, con il titolo The Old Things, su "The Atlantic Monthly" tra aprile e ottobre 1896 e l'anno successivo in volume (con diverse revisioni). Qualche ulteriore ritocco lo fece per l'edizione delle proprie opere complete stampate a New York nel 1907-09. (it)
  • 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)

  • 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. (fr)
