About This Item
The Jameses remain of the most distinguished family in American intellectual life. Henry's novels, celebrated as among the finest in the language, and William's groundbreaking philosophical and psychological works have won these brothers a permanent place at the center of the nation's cultural firmament.
Their sister Alice was a fascinating woman who is most famous for her diaries. She was tormented throughout her short life by an array of nervous disorders, constrained by social convention and internal conflict from achieving the worldly success she desired, but she was a brilliant and witty writer and an acute social observer.
This is a first edition of her biography, written in 1980 by the American biographer Jean Strouse. It was very well reviewed.
367 pages with photographs. The dust jacket has discoloration and shelfwear; the book itself is pristine.
