The Elder Henry James by Austin Warren is a biographical account of the life and works of Henry James Sr., the father of the famous American novelist, Henry James Jr. The book explores the elder James' life, from his childhood in Albany, New York, to his education at Yale, his career as a theologian, and his role as a prominent intellectual figure in the American literary and philosophical circles of the mid-19th century.Warren delves into James' religious beliefs and his impact on the Transcendentalist movement, as well as his relationships with other notable figures of the time, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Margaret Fuller. The book also traces James' personal life, including his marriage to Mary Walsh and the birth of their five children, including Henry Jr.Throughout the book, Warren provides a detailed analysis of James' writing, including his essays, sermons, and books, such as his seminal work, The Secret of Swedenborg. The Elder Henry James offers a comprehensive look at a key figure in American intellectual history and sheds light on the influences that shaped the literary legacy of the James family.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
