Margaret Fuller (1810-1850), a pioneering gender theorist,
transcendentalist, journalist, and literary critic, was one of the
most well-known and highly regarded feminist intellectuals of
nineteenth-century America. With her contemporaries Ralph Waldo
Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, she was one of the predominant
writers of the Transcendentalist movement, and she aligned herself
in both her public and private life with the European revolutionary
fervor of the 1840s. She traveled to Italy as a foreign
correspondent for the New York Tribune to cover the nascent
revolutions, pursuing the transnational ideal awakened in her youth
by a classical education in European languages and a Romantic
curiosity about other cultures, traditions, and identities.
This volume is a collaboration of international scholars who, from
varied fields and approaches, assess Fuller's genius and character.
Treating the last several years of Margaret Fuller's short life,
these essays offer a truly international discussion of Fuller's
unique cultural, political, and personal achievements. From the
origins and articulations of Fuller's cosmopolitanism to her
examination of "the woman question," and from her fascination with
the European "other" to her candid perception of imperial America
from abroad, they ponder what such an extraordinary woman meant to
America, and also to Italy and Europe, during her lifetime and
continuing to the present.
