Anderson, Sherwood: "I have been reading 'The Education of Henry Adams' and feel tremendously its importance as a piece of American writing. New England can scarcely go further than that.

In the process, he gives us a brilliant history of a changing country as well as a thoughtful, humane, often tender exploration of himself.<BR> From the original publisher, this edition of The Education of Henry Adams, newly introduced by Donald Hall, celebrates and honors this classic work on what it means to be an Americ |
