Originally written for close friends and family The Education of
Henry Adams was released to the public only after the death of its
author, American historian HENRY BROOKS ADAMS (1838-1918), a member
of the Adams political family, Harvard professor of medieval
history, and a journalist dedicated to exposing corruption. A
reflective chronicle of life as a man crossing eras, Adams details
how he saw the world around him change from the 19th century to the
20th. The schooling he had as a child left him wholly unprepared
for the newer, faster world. The 20th century was dominated by
scientific development, and Adams's education had been grounded in
classical literature and history-areas that, he believed, offered
no real advantages to modern man. Readers interested in historical
periods of transition will find this autobiography a moving and
thoughtful way to access the stresses and fears of those who lived
through the last great societal shift.
