Why, then, in 1882, at the age of forty-two, did she swallow a lethal dose of potassium cyanide? And why did her husband of thirteen years fail even to mention her in his autobiography, \u003ci\u003eThe Education of Henry Adams\u003c\/i\u003e? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese and other questions are explored in this first paperback edition of Eugenia Kaledin's pathbreaking biography. The book re-creates the intense intellectual, cultural, and moral life of Boston and New England before, during, and after the Civil War and helps us to understand what could drive such a gifted, intelligent, and privileged woman to take her own life. Included is a portfolio of Adams's photographs of her husband and his famous circle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eugenia Kaledin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0870239139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870239137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Massachusetts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.33h x 5.48w x 0.93d","brand":"Eugenia Kaledin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013825343743,"sku":"9780870239137","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb4b6cb8-876f-462c-899d-812a57fc25d0.jpg?v=1767744998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-education-of-mrs-henry-eugenia-kaledin-9780870239137","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
