‘I cannot remember when I was not fascinated by Henry Adams,’ said Gore Vidal. ‘Hewas remarkably prescient about the coming horrors.’
His political ideals shapedby two presidential ancestors—great-grandfather John Adams and grandfather John QuincyAdams—Henry Adams was one of the most powerful and original minds to confront theAmerican scene from the Civil War to the First World War.
Printed privately in1907 and published to wide acclaim shortly after the author&’s death in 1918, TheEducation of Henry Adams is a brilliant, idiosyncratic blend of autobiography andhistory that charts the great transformation in American life during the so-calledGilded Age.
With an introduction by renowned historian Edmund Morris.
