About This Book

Edward Everett Hale compiles a series of memoir sketches and reminiscences that trace the life, career, and social circle of James Russell Lowell, from his Cambridge childhood at Elmwood through his Harvard education and early literary efforts. The narrative emphasizes Lowell’s friendships and interactions with leading Boston writers and scientists, his work as an editor and public speaker, and his engagement with politics and academic life. Later chapters follow his diplomatic service in Spain and England and his return to private life. The volume includes portraits, facsimiles, and other illustrations that complement the text.
