'The Last American Aristocrat' captures one man, and an era of change


By Barbara Spindel

Historian and memoirist Henry Adams never forgot the family gardener who, when Adams was a child, made him question his birthright with the stinging reproach, “You’ll be thinkin’ you’ll be President too!” Adams, a great-grandson of Founding Father and second president John Adams and a grandson of sixth president John Quincy Adams, never achieved the political prominence he at one time took for granted. In an excellent new biography, “The Last American Aristocrat: The Brilliant Life and Improbable Education of Henry Adams,” historian David S. Brown vividly conveys Adams’ altogether different accomplishments.
Adams recalled the gardener’s dig in his celebrated autobiography, “The Education of Henry Adams.” In the book, in which he refers to himself in the third person, Adams assumes the ironic pose of a failure whose formal schooling (he received a traditional liberal Protest ....

Welcome back to HomeFront, where we’re shoveling snow, counting down to the winter solstice on Monday, and hanging on every word of the news about vaccines — or, as we like to think of them, get-out-of-jail-free cards magically crammed into little glass vials. The year that warped time is finally winding down, and that means looking back at an unprecedented 12 months. We’ve missed out on a lot of communal activities in 2020 (you’re up, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s), but one thing even a pandemic can’t take away is the bonding experience of arguing over arts and entertainment critics’ year-end lists. ....

Despite America’s deep tradition of dynastic politics — think of the Kennedys, the Clintons, the Bushes — the country’s first family will always be the Adamses. For many decades John, John Quincy, and their various relations held key roles in national and New England politics. But one of the many useful reminders in David S. Brown’s new biography, “The Last American Aristocrat: The Brilliant Life and Improbable Education of Henry Adams,” is that this particular dynasty ended not with a bang or even a whimper but something far stranger: It ended with a writer. ....
