Description
|
|
|
|
A scion of the Adams family of American statesmen, historian Henry Adams was more drawn to scholarship than to politics. His now-classic autobiographical work—privately printed in 1907 and published posthumously to wide acclaim in 1918—reflects his constant search for order and unity in a world he regarded as teetering on the brink of self-destruction. Adams subtitled his work "A Study of 20th-Century Multiplicity" and cast himself as a modern everyman, seeking coherence in a fragmented universe and concluding that his education was inadequate for the demands of modern society.
