Philosopher, psychiatrist, world traveler, artist, medical student...there are few people who have lived as varied and interesting a life as William James. This, as well as the fact that he was a member of one of the most famous intellectual families in American history, makes this collection of his letters a valuable resource as well as a thoroughly delightful read. Dating from his eighteenth year (1860) until the year of his death (1910), 'The Selected Letters of William James' offers a very intimate look at the man, with insights into his personality and intellectual development that no biography can convey.
