Witty, bittingly satirical, erudite, and passionate, James Russell Lowell was one of the great literary and intellectual, giants of the 19th century. Though his name today is less well-known than Hawthorne, Poe, Longfellow, and Emerson, he was their contemporary, peer, and friend. He was the editor of "The Atlantic Monthly" who set the early tone and style for that magazine. A Harvard graduate and prolific essayist and poet, he was later a U.S. diplomat to Spain and England. This two volume, long out-of-print set will keep you entertained from beginning to end. Lowell's wonderful intelligence and wit are on display throughout. You will see why "The Atlantic" became the important magazine that it still is. His friend and biographer, Horace Scudder was also editor of "The Atlantic." For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Henry James' masterful biography of the life of American sculptor, William Story, is a long-forgotten treasure. He includes excerpts of letters from Story's large circle of prominent friends, including Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, James Russell Lowell, Charles Sumner, and others. James, knowing his subject was not a significant figure, chose to make the book more about a reminiscence of Italy (where he had met Story) and the far more prominent people who were friends of Story's. The biography then became by turns a fascinating look at art, Europe, and Americans abroad as only Henry James could have written it. Includes Volume I and Volume II. Well-received when published in 1903, for the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

When my friend Mr. Howland, of the "Outlook" magazine, asked me if I could write for that magazine a lifetime of James Russell Lowell, I said directly that I couldn't . While there have been certain periods of our lives once we met almost daily, for other periods we were parted, in order that for several years I never saw him. I said that the materials for any lifetime of him were within the hands of others, who would probably use them at the right time.

When my friend Mr. Howland, of the "Outlook" magazine, asked me if I could write for that magazine a Life of James Russell Lowell, I said at once that I could not. While there were certain periods of our lives when we met almost daily, for other periods we were parted, so that for many years I never saw him. I said that the materials for any Life of him were in the hands of others, who would probably use them at the proper time. Then Mr. Howland suggested that, without attempting anything which should be called a Life of Mr. Lowell, I might write for the "Outlook" a review, as it were, of the last sixty years among literary and scientific people in Boston and its neighborhood. I do not think he wanted my autobiography, nor had I any thought of preparing it for him; but he suggested the book which is in the reader's hands. This was in April, 1897.
