Description
NOTE: This edition has a linked "Table of Contents" and has been beautifully formatted (searchable and
interlinked) to work on your Amazon e-book reader or iPod e-book reader.The Education of Henry Adams
records the struggle of Bostonian Henry Adams (1838-1918), in early old age, 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.Two aspects set The Education apart from the common run of
autobiographies--it's narrated in the third person and it's frequently sarcastic and humorously self-critical. It's
much more a record of Adams's introspection than of his deeds. It's an extended meditation on the social,
technological, political, and intellectual changes that occurred over Adams's lifetime.Adams concluded that
his traditional education failed to help him come to terms with these rapid changes; hence his need for selfeducation.
The organizing thread of the book is how the "proper" schooling and other aspects of his youth,
was time wasted; thus his search for self-education through experiences, friendships, and reading.Many
aspects of the contemporary world emerged during the half-century between the Civil War and World War I,
a half-century coinciding with Adams's adult life. An important theme of The Education is its author's
bewilderment and concern at the rapid advance in science and technology over the course of his lifetime,
sometimes now called Second Industrial Revolution.He correctly predicted that the 20th century would see
even more explosive changes. Adams repeatedly laments that his formal education, grounded in the classics,
history, and literature, as was then the fashion, did not give him the scientific and mathematical knowledge
needed to grasp the scientific breakthroughs of the 1890s and 1900s.The Education repeatedly mentions two
long-standing friends of Adams, the scientific explorer of the Far West, Clarence King, and the American
diplomat, John Milton Hay.Henry Adams' life story is rooted in the American political aristocracy that
emerged from the American Revolution. He was the grandson of the American President John Quincy
Adams and great-grandson of President and Founding Father John Adams. His father, Charles Francis
Adams, had served as ambassador to the United Kingdom during the American Civil War, and had been
elected to the United States House of Representatives.The Education is an important work of American
literary nonfiction--it provides a penetrating glimpse into the intellectual and political life of the late 19th
century...
