Three readings of the diary of Alice James, the invalid sister of author Henry James and psychologist William James. She kept her journals from the year 1889 until a few days before her death in 1892. The journals tell the story of a woman struggling against life during the Victorian Era, and the experience of being diagnosed with "hysteria". The diaries were not published until 1934, long after her death, because of the many members of society she told stories about and mentioned by name. The readings were broadcast on KPFA's "Morning Reading" June 26, July 3, and July 10, 1973. Each reading is introduced by Erik Bauersfeld and read by Eleanor Sully. |
