Within months, however, James's interest in others was replaced by a desire to trace his personal development. Subsequently, he began a lengthy examination of both his own past and the psychological heritage of the James family in a two-volume autobiography, \u003ci\u003eA Small Boy and Others\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNotes of a Son and Brother.\u003c\/i\u003e Through the process of writing his autobiography, James maintained that \"at every step of the process [he was becoming] . . . more intensely 'family.'\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Documenting the rich connotations of James's phrase \"intensely family,\" Carol Holly examines the shame-based psychology bred by his parents and the impact of that psychology on James's literary career. Interpreting the act of autobiography as a biographical event, Holly also draws on a collection of James's largely unpublished correspondence with his sister-in-law and nephew from the period when he was writing \u003ci\u003eA Small Boy and Notes\u003c\/i\u003e . She provides a contextual interpretation of the autobiographies and offers a detailed look at the complex emotional life of James the autobiographer. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Carol Holly is professor of English at St. Olaf College.
