Samenvatting:

"Halfway to Revolution" is a cultural portrait of possibly the
most important American literary epoch, that of the years between 1865 and
1945, focusing on the work and lives of three of its central personalities -
Henry Adams, William James and Gertrude Stein. The featured writers are treated
as representative of certain bodies of knowledge and critical thinking about
that knowledge - history, science, and literature - within which can be
detected the deep changes and crises of form and content which characterize
"modern thought".
