Product Information
Alice in Jamesland , the first biography of Alice Howe Gibbens James--wife of the psychologist and philosopher William James, and sister-in-law of novelist Henry James--was made possible by the rediscovery of hundreds of her letters and papers thought to be destroyed in the 1960s. Encompassing European travel, Civil War profiteering, suicide, a stormy courtship, séances, psychedelic mushrooms, the death of a child, and an enduring love story, Alice in Jamesland is a portrait of a nineteenth-century upper-middle-class marriage, told often through Alice's own letters and made all the more dynamic because of her role in the James family. Susan E. Gunter positions Alice as a lens through which to view the family, as a perceptive observer privy to knowledge of relationships to which those outside the James family were not. She also portrays Alice as the cohesive factor that held the Jameses together, bridging the gap between brothers William and Henry and acting as the stable center for a highly gifted but eccentric family. An idealistic, serious young woman, Alice was uniquely suited to join this clan, bringing psychological soundness and unshakeable personal conviction to her union with the Jameses. Her life's story provides a fascinating view of one of America's most important intellectual dynasties and offers new insights into the lives of nineteenth-century women.

Reviews
"This thoroughly researched book offers a lively portrait of Alice Howe Gibbens James and illuminates her significant role in the James family. Susan Gunter has written a fine biography of a singular woman that offers new perspectives on both the inimitable James clan and late nineteenth-century family life in America."-Linda Simon, author of Genuine Reality: A Life of William James and William James Remembered, "[ Alice in Jamesland ] offers a carefully detailed picture of the rewards and disappointments of the distinctive life of an unsung but essential member of a difficult but fascinating family."-Paul Armstrong, Common Knowledge, "The close view of 19th-century domesticity and Alice''s role in an endlessly interesting clan makes Gunter''s book a welcome addition to the James family literature."-John Williams,The Second Pass, "[ Alice in Jamesland offers a carefully detailed picture of the rewards and disappointments of the distinctive life of an unsung but essential member of a difficult but fascinating family."-Paul Armstrong, Common Knowledge, "Susan Gunter's Alice in Jamesland is absolutely indispensable to anyone interested in the James family. Gunter gives us a rich, full life-the first biography-of Alice Gibbens James, wife of William, and in the process illuminates, with hundreds of details available nowhere else, the private domestic worlds of William and Henry James. An impressive achievement."-Robert Richardson, author of William James: In the Maelstrom of American Modernism "Alice in Jameslandis a conscientious biography and a valuable addition to the literature on the family. Gunter's prefatory remarks suggest that she will partly compensate for gaps in the evidence by treating Alice as what Henry called a 'ficelle', an intelligent observer who helps to illuminate the compelling deeds of the principles". Ruth Bernard Yeazell,London Review of Books, 25th June 2009, "[Alice in Jamesland] offers a carefully detailed picture of the rewards and disappointments of the distinctive life of an unsung but essential member of a difficult but fascinating family."-Paul Armstrong,Common Knowledge, " Alice in Jamesland is a conscientious biography and a valuable addition to the literature on the family."-Ruth Bernard Yeazell, London Review of Books, "Alice in Jamesland is a conscientious biography and a valuable addition to the literature on the family."-Ruth Bernard Yeazell, London Review of Books, "Susan Gunter's Alice in Jamesland is absolutely indispensable to anyone interested in the James family.

An impressive achievement."-Robert Richardson, author of William James: In the Maelstrom of American Modernism, "Susan E. Gunter in Alice in Jamesland draws a sharp, subtle, and sympathetic portrait of the woman whom Henry James Senior announced would be suitable for his ambitious and neurotic son. The fact that Alice Gibbens emerges as the most sane member of the James family does not perhaps mean much; luckily for us all, the family did not value sanity as highly as, say, talent, or the molding of talent toward genius. In her biography, Gunter manages to recreate, with some ingenuity and tact, the life of a wife and mother in these years in an upper- middle-class Boston household; she charts what it was like to care for one of the most needy and talented figures to emerge from that class."-Colm T�ib�n, New York Review of Books, "Susan E.
