Abstract

Mrs. Roosevelt Recollects
Rosenau, James N. | November 19, 1949 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "This I Remember," by Eleanor Roosevelt. To discover the historical revelations contained in Roosevelt's autobiography may require at least two readings. The initial encounter with the book is likely to leave even the best-intentioned scholar so disarmed, so hypnotized by the author's personality-her candor, simplicity and insight-that the objectivity necessary to historical evaluation will hardly be able to assert itself. Nor can the strong emotional appeal of the book be fully avoided after a second, more analytical reading. "This I Remember" is not a history of an era, its institutions, trends and consequences.
