Drawing on a wide range of sources, including 1,500 letters between James and his wife, acclaimed biographer Linda Simon creates an intimate portrait of this multifaceted and contradictory man. Exploring James's irrepressible family, his diverse friends, and the cultural and political forces to which he so energetically responded, Simon weaves the many threads of William James's life into a genuine, and vibrant, reality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"William James . . . has never seemed so vulnerably human as in Linda Simon's biography. . . .
