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: From Letters, Diaries, and Recollections There came a moment when the spell in question began to weaken, and in that subtle revolution our subject, could we fully give our selves to it, would find its dramatic climax. Its limit is marked, in our own direction, its modern side, by two or three such pregnant transitions. They accord with many other things that repre sent the inevitable quickening of the pace. I think of the American who started on his Wom derjahre after the Civil War quite as one of the moderns divided by a chasm from his progenitors and elder brothers, carried on the wave as they were not, and all supplied with introductions.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. 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. The time immediately to come was to have its dark days--which were the dark days of the American Civil War, that weary middle period of anxiety almost unrelieved, especially for spectators at a distance whose sympathies were with the North and to whom it sometimes seemed that the issue scarce hung in the balance. Story was in England each of these years and inevitably in contact with much feeling and expression, in this connection, that was not of a nature to soothe patriotic soreness. His own sentiments and convictions relieved themselves by a demonstration on which he was distinctly to be congratulated and of which we shall presently encounter evidence. But meanwhile his artistic and his personal success were of the greatest, and, as the shadow of the War slowly cleared, life, activity and ambition opened out for him in a hundred interesting ways. The effect produced by his work at the Exhibition of 1862 was immediate and general, and would carry us back, should we follow the clue, to a near and suggestive view of the taste, the aesthetic sensibility of the time. The clue would take us, however, too far; we can only feel, as we pass, a certain envy of a critical attitude easier, simpler and less "evolved" than our own. "Critical" attitude is doubtless even too much to say; the sense to which, for the most part, the work of art or of imagination, the picture, the. statue, the novel, the play, appealed...

Excerpt from William Wetmore Story and His Friends, Vol. 1 of 2: From Letters, Diaries, and Recollections The old relation, social, personal, aesthetic, of the American world to the European - a relation expressed practically, at the time, of course, in such active experiments as might be - is as charming a subject as the student of manners.
