Michael O'Brien. Henry Adams and the Southern Question. (Mercer University Lamar Memorial Lectures, number 47.) Athens: University of Georgia Press. 2005. Pp. xiv, 201. $34.95.

The four chapters that constitute this volume began life as the 2003 Mercer University Lamar Memorial Lectures. Author of Conjectures of Order: Intellectual Life and the American South, 1810–1860 (2004), Michael O'Brien brings formidable credentials to the task of analyzing the place of the South in the life and work of Henry Adams. If his book leans more toward an annotative than an interpretative approach (at just under 200 pages, the book's ambitions remain understandably modest), it nevertheless opens fresh perspectives on Adams's engagement of southern culture as well as the curious ways in which he occupied the South as a longtime resident of the nation's capital.
