A quick Google Search for
"henry james daisy miller" quickly turned up this study guide [http://tinyurl.com/2ypgaz] among others.

or, maybe even this, if you speak Italian, [http://tinyurl.com/yu4a6l]. (You need to subscribe or be a member of a university library to see articles in some online journals and repositories.)
