William and Henry James are well known for their master works of
psychology and fiction respectively, but the celebrated brothers
amassed an impressive collection of letters to one another as well.
Through their copious correspondence, readers are privy to the
private thoughts of these intellectual heavyweights. Sure, their
letters expound on philosophical, political, social, and cultural
subjects with imagination and wit, but more often they focus on the
quotidian: health, news of friends and family, mutual praise,
advice, complaints, and good-natured ribbing. What makes these 216
epistles remarkable is the quality of writing and the keen
observations made by the brothers James during their wide and
frequent travels across America and Europe. The letters contained
in "William and Henry James: Selected Letters" span more than 50
years and are infused with the history and events of their era.
This volume illuminates each man's distinct personality and reveals
the relationship the two crafted out of equal parts of criticism
and support.
