The leading feminist intellectual of her day, Margaret Fuller has
been remembered for her groundbreaking work, Woman in the
Nineteenth Century, which recharted the gender roles of
nineteenth-century men and women. In this new collection, the full
range of her literary career is represented from her earliest
poetry to her final dispatch from revolutionary Italy. For the
first time, the complete texts of Woman in the Nineteenth Century
and Summer on the Lakes are printed together, along with generous
selections from Fuller's Dial essays, New York essays, Italian
dispatches, and unpublished journals. Special features are the
complete text of Fuller's famous ""Autobiographical Romance""
(never before reprinted in its entirety) and nineteen of her poems,
edited from her manuscripts. All of Fuller's major texts are
completely annotated, with special attention to her literary and
historical sources, as well as her knowledge of American Indian
culture, mythology, and the BibleJeffrey Steele's introduction
provides an important revision of Fuller's biography and literary
career, tracing the growth of her feminism and her development into
one of America's preeminent social critics. No other writer of
Fuller's day could match the range of her experience. Growing up in
the world of Boston intellectuals, she was the close friend of the
Alcotts, Emerson, Hawthorne, and Thoreau. But she also traveled
adventurously to the western frontier, canoed down rapids with
Chippewa Indians, visited the outcast and the poor in New York's
institutions and prisons, and experienced the rigors of war during
the bombardment of Rome. As a whole, this anthology provides the
material to understand one of the most fascinating
nineteenth-century American women writers.
