2016 Reprint of 1918 Edition. 'The Education of Henry Adams' records the struggle of Bostonian Henry Adams (1838-1918), in his later years, to come to terms with the dawning 20th century, so different from the world of his youth. It is also a sharp critique of 19th century educational theory and practice. In 1907, Adams began privately circulating copies of a limited edition printed at his own expense. Commercial publication had to await its author’s 1918 death, whereupon it won the 1919 Pulitzer Prize. The Modern Library placed it first in a list of the top 100 English-language nonfiction books of the twentieth century.Contents: Editor’s preface / Henry Cabot Lodge -- Quincy (1838-1848) -- Boston (1848-1854) -- Washington (1850-1854) -- Harvard College (1854-1858) -- Berlin (1858-1859) -- Rome (1859-1860) -- Treason (1860-1861) -- Diplomacy (1861) -- Foes or friends (1862) -- Political morality (1862) -- The battle of the rams (1863) -- Eccentricity (1863) -- The perfection of human society (1864) -- Dilettantism (1865-1866) -- Darwinism (1867-1868) -- The press (1868) -- President Grant (1869) -- Free fight (1869-1870) -- Chaos (1870) -- Failure (1871) -- Twenty years after (1892) -- Chicago (1893) -- Silence (1894-1898) -- Indian summer (1898-1899) -- The dynamo and the virgin (1900) -- Twilight (1901) -- Teufelsdröckh (1901) -- The height of knowledge (1902) -- The abyss of ignorance (1902) -- Vis inertiae (1903) -- The grammar of science (1903) -- Vis nova (1903-1904) -- A dynamic theory of history (1904) -- A law of acceleration (1904) -- Nunc age (1905).
