Overview
Winner of the Bancroft Prize
A comprehensive biography of the visionary writer Alice James, long overshadowed by William and Henry James, her two famous brothers.
Alice James is perhaps best known as the sister of the novelist Henry James and of “the father of American psychology” William James. Few readers are familiar with Alice’s life beyond this—until now.
Jean Strouse’s illuminating and comprehensive biography Alice James dives headfirst into the hidden life of this captivating writer. Despite her struggles with a variety of psychological and psychiatric disorders, James persisted in her work until her death from breast cancer in 1892. A teacher, intellectual, and writer in her own regard, Alice James’s life and work were brilliant and enthralling.
