Garden City. 1959. Anchor/Doubleday. Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. Edited & With An Introduction by Elizabeth Stevenson. Cover by Leonard Baskin. 381 pages. paperback. keywords: American Literature Anchor. DESCRIPTION - A HENRY ADAMS READER - the only collection of its kind - contains generous selections from all of Adams' varied writings, many of which have long been inaccessible. The material has been arranged chronologically to present clearly the important parallel between Adams' personal development and the development of his writing as each reflected the intellectual, spiritual, and political growth of America as it entered the twentieth century. This volume includes a firsthand account of Adams' meeting, as a youth, with the Italian patriot Garibaldi; the famous account of the Gould and Fisk Gold Conspiracy, and an essay on Captain John Smith. There are chapters from Adams' two novels, Democracy and Esther; sect ions of his biographies of Gallatin and John Randolph; and selections from his monumental The History of the United States, dealing with Toussaint L'Ouverture's revolution in Haiti, Tecumseh's attempt to protect Indian land from pioneer settlers, and privateering in the War of 1812. There is a long and beautiful letter from Samoa, which marked the beginning of Adams' recovery from the shock of his wife's suicide. There are three chapters from his classic Mont-St.-Michel and Chartres, and two chapters from his famous The Education of Henry Adams. Also included are ‘The Tendency of History,' ‘The Rule of Phase Applied to History,' and two long poems. This rich cross section of Adams' works, selected and introduced by his foremost biographer, presents for the first time in one volume the whole range of his achievement. The reader becomes fully familiar with the fertile mind and the objective world of one of America's most original and influential nineteenth-century thinkers. inventory #30215. …
