While a reconstruction of the whole of William James's personal
library isn't feasible, there are significant portions of it that
reside within the Harvard University Library system and this book
is a partial reconstruction of their story. Reconstructing the
Personal Library of William James offers a new, comprehensive
account of the James collection at Harvard University, bringing
together all known Harvard-owned entries into one comprehensive
volume. The annotated bibliography contains data on 2,554 entries
(2,862 volumes) from James's personal library, including both the
1923 "Philosophical Library" and all known additional donations by
James and his family. . Each entry, when applicable, contains the
following data points: Harvard Library location and call number,
provenance, bookplate, accession record, autographs, inscriptions,
ownership marks, indexical annotations, markings, and marginalia.
To orient the reader, Ermine L. Algaier IV supplements the
bibliography with essays that examine the history of the James's
library at Harvard, assess the size of the collection and how it
came to reside at Harvard, and showcase patterns that emerge from
looking at the collection as a whole. Additional essays are devoted
to explaining the source lists and archival resources used in
reconstructing James's personal library, as well as outlining steps
for continued research on the collection.
