Many great artists have had at least intermittent doubts about their own abilities. But The Education of Henry Adams is surely one of the few masterpieces to issue directly from a raging inferiority complex. The author to be sure had bigger shoes to fill than most of us. Both his grandfather and great-grandfather were U.S. presidents. His father a relative underachiever scraped by as a member of Congress and ambassador to the Court of St. James. But young Henry born in Boston in 1838 was destined for a walk-on role in his nation s history--and seemed alarmingly aware of the fact from the time he was an adolescent. For the author could neither match his exalted ancestors nor dismiss them as dusty relics--he was an Adams after all formed from the same 18th-century clay. Henry sat on the sidelines throughout the conflict of the Civil War serving as his father s private secretary and anxiously negotiating the minefields of English society. He then returned home and commenced a long career as a journalist historian novelist and peripheral participant in the political process--a kind of mouthpiece for what remained of the New England conscience. He was not by any measure but his own a failure. And the proof of the pudding is The Education of Henry Adams itself which remains among the oddest and most enlightening books in American literature. Adams s book is a brilliant account of how his own sensibility came to be. A literary landmark from the moment it first appeared the Autobiography confers upon its author precisely that prize he felt had always eluded him: success.
