- Synopsis
- &“Humanity can be divided into three classes: men, women, and Margaret Fuller.&”—Edgar Allan PoeA true American original—radical transcendentalist, intrepid journalist, and pioneering feminist—joins Library of America with the most authoritative single-volume collection of her writings ever, including many rare and previously unpublished works, newly transcribed from original notebooks and journalsTranscendentalist, journalist, feminist, activist, public intellectual, war correspondent, poet: Margaret Fuller&’s achievement in her short life was as diverse, wide-ranging, and radical as her multi-generic writings. Now, at long last, this pioneering writer joins Library of America with the most comprehensive and most authoritative version of her writings ever published.Here are her two best-known books: Summer on the Lakes, in 1843, an account of her travels to the Great Lakes, a plea for better treatment of the American Indian peoples, and a sketchbook of Fuller&’s thought; and Woman in the Nineteenth Century, the foundational document of American feminism and the first major work on women&’s rights since Wollstonecraft&’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman fifty-three years earlier.Joining them are a generous selection of Fuller&’s published essays and journalism, including &“American Literature&” and her reviews and columns for the New York Tribune, as well as her war correspondence from besieged Rome in 1849; unpublished writings and selections from Fuller&’s journals, many previously unknown and newly transcribed for this volume; and a selection of Fuller&’s letters, including three newly translated from the original Italian.Rounding out the volume are a chronology by Fuller&’s biographer Megan Marshall, along with helpful notes identifying Fuller&’s many allusions and quotations, and an index.
