'The Letters Of Henry Adams' consists of a three volume set which chronicles the people, events, and ideas Adams recorded, with brilliance and wit.--Volume I shows him growing from a high-spirited but self-conscious twenty-year-old to a self-assured man of the world. --Volume II takes him from his years as a crusading journalist in Grant's Washington, through his marriage to Clover Hooper and his pioneer work as a history professor at Harvard and editor of the 'North American Review, ' to his settling in Washington as a professional historian. This halcyon period comes to a catastrophic close with Clover's suicide.--Volume III traces his gradual recovery from the shock of his wife's death as he seeks distraction in travel--to Japan, to Cuba, and in 1891-92 to the South Seas--a recovery complicated by his falling dangerously in love with Elizabeth Cameron, a beautiful young wife of a leading senator.
