William Wetmore Story and His Friends (Abridged, Annotated)
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.

Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... VIII. THE CLEOPATRA AND THE LIBYAN SIBYL. The year 1862 was a date, the date, in Story's life; bringing with it the influence, the sense of possibilities of success, the prospect of a full and free development, under which he settled-- practically for the rest of his days--and which was to encounter in the time to come no serious check.
