Strouse, Jean Alice James: A Biography
Houghton Mifflin 1984 0395361478 / 9780395361474 Trade Paperback Fine
Near-new condition - Tight spine - Bright pages. Illustrated with photos. NO remainder marks or price clippings. 367 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Awarded the Bancroft Prize for Distinguished American History Alice James was the sister of William and Henry, the only daughter in a family of brilliant and not a little eccentric men, and representative of the intellectually repressed nineteenth-century woman whose grief finds an outlet in neurotic illness. She kept a withering journal of her life, wrote letters, and left behind a trail needing only modern signposts. She was an integral part of a family firm of scholars and writers. But she could never seize the opportunities that a few other women of her age did. There was no air to breathe in the intoxicating atmosphere where Henry was already writing spellbinding novels and William was professing at Harvard and reinventing psychology and philosophy. Her life, then, is a singular portrait embedded in a family history that dazzled her age and still interests ours. "Brilliant ... Jean Strouse has created a fascinating picture of 'woman's place' in a family of genius and throws a searching light on the price a woman sometimes pays when reared in such a hothouse." -Leon Edel "A triumph of exact compassion, of disciplined speculation, and of imaginative justice." -Christopher Ricks, Sunday Times (London) "Strouse is acquainting us with the younger sister of William and Henry James ... [She has] written a Jamesian novel, subtle, evasive, embroidered, splendid." -John Leonard, New York Times Jean Strouse is a writer who lives in New York.
