The third volume of this major series opens with Fuller's decision
in early 1842 to resign her post as editor of The Dial, after she
realized she would never be paid for her work there. It closes with
her in New York, having accepted Horace Greeley's invitation to
work as a book reviewer for The Daily Tribune. Her position was
nearly without precedent for a woman, and she wrote
enthusiastically of her job that it provided "a more various view
of life than any I ever before was in." She found herself in a
larger world: the new tasks of daily journalism replaced the
demands of The Dial, and a mass audience replaced her coterie of
intellectual readers. These were prolific years for Fuller, during
which she wrote on a wide variety of subjects, and the letters
chronicle her progress on a number of projects, among them her
travel book, Summer on the Lakes, in 1843, which grew out of a trip
to the Midwest; her translation of Bettina von Arnim's Die
Gunderode; and her essays on contemporary poetry, fiction, and
drama. She devoted the fall of 1844 to expanding "The Great
Lawsuit," an essay she had written for The Dial; the letters
document how the piece grew to become her most important book-Woman
in the Nineteenth Century, a provocative study of woman's role in
American life.
