This brief (5.5x7.5") but in-depth study analyzes some of the correspondence between Henry James, a major fiction writer, and his brother William James, a pioneer of modern psychology and an expert in comparative religion. The letters for scrutiny have been selected to emphasize the common roots of the brothers' literary and intellectual ideas and their influence on philosophy, religion, science, art, and literature of the 20th century. The book includes small-format b&w historical photos and illustrations. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
