**Matthew Fernandez**, Columbia University This talk examines three interrelated elements of Henry Adams’s literary output: his transnational focus, his reconsideration of subject/object relations, and his interest in the visual arts. While travelling during the 1890s, Adams took a break from writing to immerse himself in painting and sketching—after which he produced acclaimed works like *Chartres* and *The Education*. His time abroad represents an important transitional moment between the Romanticism of the nineteenth century and the Modernism of the twentieth century.
