Larz and Isabel Anderson were wealthy socialites whose extraordinary lives spanned a century of American historyfrom the Civil War to World War II. Their world included dozens of celebrities who helped define modern culture and politics: Henry and Clover Adams, Alice Pike Barney, Cecilia Beaux, Lord and Lady Curzon, Maud Howe Elliott, Henry James, Isabella Stewart Gardner, Robert Todd Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, John Singer Sargent, and William Howard Taft. In his dual biography based on six years of archival research, Stephen Moskey offers a fresh look into Americas Gilded Age while focusing not just on the lives of the Andersons, but also on the intersection of wealth, celebrity, politics, gender, and race as one century ended and another began. While leading others back in time, Moskey shines a light on Larzs professional achievements as well as Isabels emergence as an American woman of the early modern era whose words and deeds anticipated womens roles in culture and society today. Larz and Isabel Anderson shares the story of a glittering Gilded Age couple as they lived, worked, prospered, and gave back during a fascinating time in Americas history.

As the wife of the American Minister to Belgium, Isabel Anderson had special opportunities and for securing information; and this, joined to a natural talent for description, has enabled her to produce The Spell of Belgium, a volume of absorbing interest; the complete story of "the Belgium that was." "The fact that the author herself has been so active and so unselfishly devoted to the cause of Belgium even adds to the irresistible fascination of 'The Spell of Belgium.' The volume sweeps the horizon - touching history, legend, triumphs in painting, music, science, and showing why the 'spell of Belgium' exists from events that have gone before. The book is far more than entertaining and instructive - it is inspiring in its purpose - and preserves a record of Belgium that has a wide appeal for children as well as grown-ups; for it is in writing for children that Mrs. Anderson has achieved her notable triumphs. And more than any other one book, this dainty volume from the pen of an American woman reflects a world-wide sentiment of today, that no matter what may be suggested in terms of peace, one thing that the world at large will be insistent upon without reservation, and that which reflects the almost unanimous sentiment of America - German and native-born Americans alike - is the restoration of the integrity of Belgium, no matter what the cost may be to the victorious or the vanquished." -The National Magazine "Her chapters are chiefly reminiscent of her life in Brussels, with motor-car visits to various places both in the Walloon highlands and on the Flemish plain. One may look in vain for evidences of any close acquaintance with the life of the Belgian people, though her view is ever that of kindly sympathy. In an overcrowded country, even before the desolations of war, the struggle for life seemed to be keener than ever, but of the charm of spell which this land of art and legend, of Van Eyck and Rubens, cast upon her, there can be no doubt. It is with a sympathetic pen, and in fascinating literary style, that Mrs. Anderson writes, whether she depicts the glories or catalogues the woes of a nation - or often crushed, yet so often resurgent....Chapters on politics, industries, tapestries, paintings, and the modern literary situation delight us....The volume is worthy of a king's welcome." -The Nation "Will be warmly welcomed by those who admired her gracious description of Japan as seen by an Ambassador's wife. The same womanly charm and gentle observation of what came within the scope of her life and official activities illume this volume, the subject of which however will win for it a fictitious interest above and beyond the treatment....Will well repay the reading of it." -Publishers Weekly CONTENTS Foreword I.

Nestled in the affluent Boston suburb of Brookline, Larz Anderson Park was once the lavish estate of Isabel and Larz Anderson. The Andersons employed Boston's finest architects and builders to design their manor house and French chateau-style carriage house and drew on their world travels to create Japanese, Chinese, and Italianate gardens that were featured in countless newspapers and magazines. Upon Isabel's death in 1948, the estate was bequeathed to the town of Brookline. Larz Anderson Park celebrates the splendor of the Anderson estate and the history of this beloved community park.

The redoubtable Mrs. Anderson's Great War Boston socialite Isabel Weld Perkins (later Anderson) inherited $5,000,000 when she was 5 years old in 1881, so began her life of privilege. Nevertheless, when the First World War broke out she volunteered as a canteen worker in America, where she became the leader of Washington's Red Cross activities and Belgian relief work. She then crossed to Europe to work in the war-zone, operating a Red Cross canteen for a period of time before working as a nurse, at one point in the company of the Queen of Belgium in a hospital operating theatre. Anxious to understand conditions in the trenches she travelled extensively through the front lines, where the redoubtable ladies from the Cellar House of Pervyse make an appearance, before travelling to England and then experiencing war at sea, including narrowly avoiding being sunk by a torpedo from a German U-Boat. This is an intriguing view of the Great War from an American woman's perspective.
