add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "The Selected Letters of Henry Adams," edited by Newton Arvin. The book is organized for the pleasures of reading. The letters are divided into five periods of Adams's life, each section headed by the editor's brief outline of the man's activities during that period. There are gaps and muffled transitions in the selection of the letters, since the book is a concentrated dose of the character, taste, intellect prejudice of a man rather than a record of a whole life.
