Autorenporträt

Henry Adams was born on February 16, 1838, in Boston, Massachusetts, into the influential Adams family, which included two U.S. Presidents, John Adams and John Quincy Adams. Educated at Harvard University, Adams traveled to Europe after graduation and developed a deep interest in history, politics, and culture. During the American Civil War, he served as his father's secretary in London, gaining valuable diplomatic experience.Upon returning to the U.S., Adams became a journalist and critic of President Ulysses S. Grant's administration. He later became a professor of medieval history at Harvard, where he made significant contributions to historical scholarship. His nine-volume History of the United States During the Administrations of Jefferson and Madison solidified his reputation as a leading historian.Adams is best remembered for his autobiography, The Education of Henry Adams, which reflects on his life and the complexities of the modern world. Published in 1907, it won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize in 1919. Adams passed away on March 27, 1918, leaving a lasting legacy as a historian, writer, and thinker.
