The definitive biography of the fascinating William James, whose life and writing put an indelible stamp on psychology, philosophy, teaching, and religion—on modernism itself. Often cited as the “father of American psychology,” William James was an intellectual luminary who made significant contributions to at least five fields: psychology, philosophy, religious studies, teaching, and literature. A member of one of the most unusual and notable of American families, James struggled to achieve greatness amid the brilliance of his theologian father; his brother, the novelist Henry James; and his sister, Alice James. After studying medicine, he ultimately realized that his true interests lay in philosophy and psychology, a choice that guided his storied career at Harvard, where he taught some of America’s greatest minds. But it is James’s contributions to intellectual study that reveal the true complexity of man. In this biography that seeks to understand James’s life through his work—including Principles of Psychology, The Varieties of Religious Experience, and Pragmatism—Robert D. Richardson has crafted an exceptionally insightful work that explores the mind of a genius, resulting in “a gripping and often inspiring story of intellectual and spiritual adventure” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “A magnificent biography.” —The Washington Post

Winner of the 2000 American Studies Network Prize and the Literature and Language Award from the Association of American Publishers, Inc. Early American naturalists assembled dazzling collections of native flora and fauna, from John Bartram’s botanical garden in Philadelphia and the artful display of animals in Charles Willson Peale’s museum to P. T. Barnum’s American Museum, infamously characterized by Henry James as “halls of humbug.” Yet physical collections were only one of the myriad ways that these naturalists captured, catalogued, and commemorated America’s rich biodiversity. They also turned to writing and art, from John Edward Holbrook’s forays into the fascinating world of herpetology to John James Audubon’s masterful portraits of American birds. In this groundbreaking, now classic book, Christoph Irmscher argues that early American natural historians developed a distinctly poetic sensibility that allowed them to imagine themselves as part of, and not apart from, their environment. He also demonstrates what happens to such inclusiveness in the hands of Harvard scientist-turned Amazonian explorer Louis Agassiz, whose racist pseudoscience appalled his student William James. This expanded, full-color edition of The Poetics of Natural History features a preface and art from award-winning artist Rosamond Purcell and invites the reader to be fully immersed in an era when the boundaries between literature, art, and science became fluid.

Entre os anos de 1865 e 1866, o filósofo William James, então um jovem estudante de medicina, viajou pelo Brasil como membro da Expedição Thayer, organizada por Louis Agassiz. Durante sua estadia de oito meses no país, ele escreveu um diário pessoal e uma narrativa incompleta chamada 'Um Mês no Solimões', na qual descreve sua expedição de coleta, além de várias cartas endereçadas à sua família na Nova Inglaterra. Esses documentos são apresentados neste livro, sendo que os textos são acompanhados de um pequeno vocabulário tupi-nhengatu-português-inglês, e de um índice de nomes, pessoas e lugares.

Jointly published by Plunkett Lake Press and Cornell University Press. “In the early years of my psychotherapeutic practice, I was struck by the pervasive uncertainty that many of my patients, both young and not so young, felt about their work lives. I soon became dissatisfied with constructions that depended solely on internal conflict for an explanation when there was so obviously a cultural and historical dimension to the problem... I decided to embark on a more extended study of the James family... I found the Jameses to be vivid personalities with a gift for self scrutiny and an enviable habit of weekly letter writing and letter saving that spans American history from the close of the American Revolution to the end of the first World War. They could, I thought, be looked upon as an avant garde with characteristics that are commonplace now but were unusual then. They were urban and educated, with sufficient means to have genuine choices. Hoping to discover the historical and cultural context for what I heard and saw in my consultation room, I set out to harvest the James family experience.” — Howard M. Feinstein, Introduction to the 1999 edition of Becoming William James Becoming William James was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Biography in 1985. “Howard Feinstein has written a brilliant study of William’s crises over idleness, illness, and vocation within the context of intense parental and sibling entanglement.” — London Review of Books “Dr. Feinstein’s book is certainly a success. He has offered us a rich new vocabulary with which to describe William James.” — Willard Gaylin, The New York Times “Howard M. Feinstein, a psychiatrist and historian, has finally given us a life study equal in richness to James himself... a superb developmental biography.” — Dorothy Ross, The American Historical Review “Becoming William James is a work of painstaking scholarship, written in an engaging and energetic style... Feinstein is also to be commended for a playful sense of irony, which prevents this psychobiographical study from degenerating, as others have, into a series of diagnostic vignettes... [an] excellent study.” — Brian Mahan, The Journal of Religion “The best and truest thing one could say about the richly provocative Becoming William James is that William, while perhaps raising an eyebrow here and there, would have welcomed it and praised it lavishly.” — Times Literary Supplement “[Feinstein] offers us much new or reevaluated information about James and his family. In particular, he offers a series of challenges to the received views of James’s life: the nature of his relationship with his father and brother Henry, the causes of his abandonment of a career as a painter, the etiology of his various crises...” — James Campbell, CrossCurrents “Feinstein’s volume presents a finely nuanced reading of the internal Sturm und Drang of William James’s early years; he places center stage the familial conflicts over vocation... Feinstein’s deep penetration into the documentary sources of the James family history unearths many new insights and facts...” — George Cotkin, American Quarterly “[A] solidly documented, steadily perceptive, and long overdue biography... Feinstein’s thesis is strong in its outline, rich in its detail… [Feinstein] sheds penetrating light into the darker regions of one of America’s great families.” — Kirkus “Since its first publication in 1984, the book has been highly praised for its imaginative yet painstaking exploration of the parent-child and sibling relationships of one of America’s most complexly gifted families.” — Marcus Cunliffe, American Studies International “Becoming William James does much to restore the intellectual respectability of psychoanalytic history. Written by a historian and psychiatrist with a sensitivity to the nuances and rich subtlety of emotional phenomena, the book depicts the early turmoils and ultimate triumphs of one of America’s great philosophers. And it does so without succumbing to the crude reductionism that plagues psychohistory in the hands of amateur psychologists... a solid achievement. The writing is vivid and well-paced, the research is thorough.” — John Patrick Diggins, Reviews in American History “Becoming William James is a psychobiography of James that covers the early part of his life. James begs for this sort of treatment... Feinstein is well equipped to undertake such a biography. He is professionally qualified as a psychiatrist but is also an indefatigable researcher and industrious historian... possibly the finest work yet to appear in the genre of psychohistory... On every page the author’s intelligence is at work.” — Bruce Kuklick, American Journal of Education “Howard M. Feinstein has written a remarkable biography of William James that narrates the course of his character development up to the year he was formally appointed to Harvard’s Philosophy Department as an Assistant Professor in 1880. Feinstein’s work is revisionary in the best sense... Feinstein argues persistently and persuasively that intergenerational battles between father and son — cultural variants to be sure — accounted more than anything else for William James’s personal and professional development which, indeed, were one and the same.” — Henry Samuel Levinson, Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society “A well-focused theme and inventive but rigorous scholarship mean that Howard M. Feinstein’s study of the first three decades in the life of William James is timely and valuable.” — Steven Weiland, The Journal of American History “Feinstein’s chronicle is absorbing.” — Lawrence Willson, The Sewanee Review “This absorbing study of the intergenerational effects one famous family had upon its individual members remains invaluable” — Seana Graham, Simply Charly
