An autobiographical work in which Henry Adams examines his formation within a political dynasty and his confrontation with the accelerating forces of modern life.

Written as a retrospective account of his own development, The Education of Henry Adams moves beyond conventional memoir to consider the adequacy of inherited knowledge in a period of profound transformation. Adams traces his upbringing within one of America's most prominent political families-grandson of John Quincy Adams and great-grandson of John Adams-before turning to his experiences in diplomacy, journalism, and historical study.
