This acclaimed biography of Margaret Fuller, first published nearly
five decades ago, is now available in a new, expanded edition.
Based on Fuller's detailed journals and other writings, it records
the life and experiences of a literary critic, radical educator,
and outspoken feminist who was deeply involved in the political,
spiritual, and cultural ferment that characterized mid-nineteenth
century America. It also provides a comprehensive update on recent
scholarship and documentary materials that have come to light since
the biography's original publication. Madeleine Stern examines
Fuller's Massachusetts background, her friendship and literary
collaboration with Ralph Waldo Emerson, her feminist writings, and
her role as an educator of women. Universal in her interests,
Fuller also concerned herself with the new "sciences" of phrenology
and animal magnetisim, the advancement of the arts in Boston, the
last stand of the Indians of the West, and the ill-fated Italian
Republic. She became more widely known as the literary critic on
Greeley's New York Tribune and later as America's first woman
foreign correspondent. Stern includes a detailed chronology of
Fuller's life and a review of Fuller scholarship, including
biographies, editions of Fuller's works, and documentary sources.
Drawn entirely from facts and impressions recorded by Margaret
Fuller herself, this work provides a uniquely lifelike portrait, as
well as the carefully researched resource for women's social
history and the social, spiritual, and intellectual history of
nineteenth-century America.
