Very well
written, highly-informative intellectual biography of a pre-eminent figure in
American intellectual history, and someone I have been interested in for a very
long time. James is the American philosopher, if that is not an oxymoron,
who articulated pragmatism. Covers all James’s work in detail while clearly showing
us James the man. Provides a good glimpse of American intellectual and social
history of the time (1842-1910), as well. Excellent use of letters to and from
him. A very, very good biography, really enjoyed it and profited from reading
it.
