John Clendenning, professor of English at California State University, Northridge, is a well-known authority on Royce. He edited the standard collection of the Letters of Josiah Royce (1970).
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.
