Very Slight Trace Of Water-Staining To The Bottom Spine, Otherwise Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Traces of Internal Water-Staining To The Bottom Spine. Edited with an introduction by Newton Arvin. 279 pages. hardcover. keywords: American Literature Letters. DESCRIPTION - Despite his denials, Henry Adams was one of the best-educated figures of his time, the great post-Civil War period of American expansion. Historian, Editor, author, world traveler, distinguished member of a distinguished family, he was in a unique position to observe his world, and to record it in his own vivacious and charming way. This volume, with a critical introduction by Newton Arvin, presents a selection of over a hundred of Adams's best letters, extending from his studious youth in Germany to his last years in Washington during the First World War. Included is a generous representation of the letters Adams wrote on his wide-ranging travels - to Japan, the South Seas, Ceylon and most of Europe, as well as the more personal and revealing letters he wrote during his periods of homekeeping quiet and study. Known in his own lifetime chiefly as a historian, and after his death as the author of The Education of Henry Adams, Henry Adams has been only less well known as a letter writer. Yet nowhere does his literary power manifest itself more brilliantly and unflaggingly than in the scores of letters he wrote during his long and very full career. inventory #12659 Very Slight Trace Of Water-Staining To The Bottom Spine, Otherwise Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Traces of Internal Water-Staining To The Bottom Spine. …
