SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The introduction and four original scholarly essays in this volume address the established reputation of The Education of Henry Adams as a classic work of American autobiography and canonical work of American literature. Examining The Education in terms of early twentieth-century American attitudes toward education, gender, U.S. foreign policy, and historiography, these essays add considerably to our understanding of The Education as an expression of its time, while helping to explain its continuing importance in ours.
