Zusammenfassung:	This Second Volume of the life of Henry Adams tells a rounded story of a man, a marriage, the epic history he wrote, and the covert role he played in the politics of late nineteenth-century America. Based on new evidence - unpublished, unrecognized, or misinterpreted letters and writings of Adams, and information from people who knew him personally - it gives a startlingly different picture and an unexpectedly new experience of Adams's life This book, a continuation of volume one, Both Sides of the Ocean: A Biography of Henry Adams, His First Life, 1838-1862, follows Henry into his matured years - first as a Harvard professor, later as a writer and behind-the-scenes Washington power. With his marriage to Marian (Clover) Hooper in 1872, his story becomes the biography of a remarkable union, shattered by Clover's suicide in 1885. Mr Chalfant documents a respectful and tender partnership that strengthened Adams and enabled him to continue his work in spite of the devastation of his wife's death
