The Wings of the Dove [SEP] Inspiration
Milly is based on Minny Temple (1845–1870), James' beloved cousin who died from tuberculosis. In his autobiography James said that "The Wings of the Dove" was his attempt to wrap her memory in the "beauty and dignity of art." But as he also said in the preface to the "New York Edition" text of the novel, James had to prepare the situation that was to occupy Milly for the last months of her life. He established the background of Kate and Densher's inability to marry because of a lack of money.
