Henry Adams

Harvard University Press has partnered with De Gruyter to make available for sale worldwide virtually all in-copyright HUP books that had become unavailable since their original publication. The 2,800 titles in the “e-ditions” program can be purchased individually as PDF eBooks or as hardcover reprint (“print-on-demand”) editions via the “Available from De Gruyter” link above. They are also available to institutions in ten separate subject-area packages that reflect the entire spectrum of the Press’s catalog. More about the E-ditions Program »

“Exemplary…so far as any real information is concerned [this] is the only biography we have of Henry Adams.”—Alfred Kazin, The New York Review of Books

“To penetrate [the Adams] concealments and disguises requires the art of the historian and the skill of the psychiatrist. Mr. Samuels, Professor of English at Northwestern, has both the art and the skill, and he has combined them effectively.”—Henry Steele Commager, The New York Times Book Review
