Book Review

Henry Adams & the Southern Question. By Michael O'Brien. (Athens: University of Georgia Press, 2005. xiv, 201 pp. $34.95, ISBN 0-8203-2711-5.)

This book began life in a series of public lectures, the Lamar Memorial Lectures at Mercer University. Such volumes are as a rule either tightly argued and intellectually imperialist or meandering and essayistic. Michael O'Brien's Henry Adams & the Southern Question is of the latter type. This observation conveys no criticism, only classification. Thus the title misleads a little. Postbellum America did ponder a "Southern Question," as O'Brien notes in explanation; but perhaps here "question" should be plural, the definite article omitted.
