Henry Adams, great-grandson of John Adams, grandson of John Quincy
Adams, and author of the Pulitzer Prize--winning The Education of
Henry Adams, is often overlooked as a serious political thinker.
Many scholars have dismissed his writings as cynical and bitter
while others regard him as a mere observer of American politics,
accepting Adams's description of himself as a "stable-companion to
statesmen." A Political Companion to Henry Adams suggests that he
was far more. In this provocative collection, editor Natalie
Fuehrer Taylor presents works by some of the leading political
thinkers in America today -- scholars who challenge conventional
judgments about the life and work of Henry Adams and credit him
with revealing key insights into the nation's evolving democracy. A
Political Companion to Henry Adams fills a long-standing gap in
scholarship that has devoted little attention to Adams's political
thought, offering a nuanced appreciation of his musings on the
human condition and political life at the eve of the twentieth
century.
