Melville "among the Nations": Proceedings of an International Conference, Volos, Greece, July 2-6, 1997
You learn a lot about Alice H.G. James from reading this book. You learn as much about William James, and their five children, as well. I don't know another source that has as much information about the children of this couple. Their relationship reminds me of the relationship of Karl Marx and Jenny, detailed in their co-biography. Alice James had a lot to do with William James' work, supporting him emotionally and intellectually. It makes it harder to keep her characteristics straight in your mind, since Alice James, W.J.'s sister, shares the name. According to the author, Alice H.G. James wore black every day after her husband died. How many of the people covered in this book dealt with "depression" is interesting. I use quotation marks because I'm not sure how their use of the term compares with our current use of the term. It is also interesting to me how much effort these folks put into getting messages from relatives that had died. There are pictures in this book of the four W.J. and A.H.G.J. children who reached adulthood, as well as of some of their spouses. For you Henry James (the novelist) fans, there is also a nice story about his relationship to A.H.G.J.. I'm glad I read this (in less than 24 hrs.!); it took me another few hours to gear up to write this; I wish I could write like almost all of the people in this book could.
