Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
John Clendenning has provided us with a thorough, incisive, affectionate although not hagiographic version of the life and thought of Royce. No stone has been unturned, no document unread, no trouble, no vexation, no weakness left unsaid as Clendenning knits a prose tapestry depicting the odyssey undergone by Royce.
--John J. McDermott, New England Quarterly
Using newly discovered Royce family materials, John Clendenning here brings the Josiah and Katharine Royce of his earlier biography into far more distinct focus. In particular, Josiah's youth in California and his final years with Katharine are wondrously enriched. The result? Josiah Royce, America's philosopher of genuine loyalty and community, finally receives that expert portrayal of his philosophy and biography which Americans urgently need and rightly deserve.
--Frank M. Oppenheim, S.J.
