Book Description
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.

Excerpt from William Wetmore Story and His Friends, Vol. 1 of 2: From Letters, Diaries, and Recollections It may appear a new application of the truth that honour, where honour, as to any frank advance, attaches, is especially due to the light skirmishers, the eclaireurs, who have gone before ; yet there are occasions on which it comes home to us that, so far as we are contentedly cosmopolite to-day and move about in a world that has been made for us both larger and more amusing, we owe much of our extension and diversion to those comparatively few who, amid difficulties and dangers, set the example and made out the road.
