James Russell Lowell (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): His Life and Work

by Ferris Greenslet

Overview

Published in 1905, this biography of Lowell relies mainly on his correspondence, giving the book a lively, quasi-autobiographical result.  A contemporary review in the New York Times pronounced the work "conspicuously free from provincialism of standards and of feeling, conspicuously competent, dispassionate, and therefore authoritative."
