Margaret Fuller by BROWN, ARTHUR W

Twayne Publishers, New York: 1964. Softcover. Good condition. Myth and legend have succeeded only too well in obscuring the true nature of Margaret Fuller, the brilliant and passionate figure whom Ralph Waldo Emerson, Horace Greeley, and Guiseppe Mazzini - three of the outstanding liberals of the nineteenth century - were pleased to accept as friend and equal. By focusing on the flesh-and-blood womean in the living context of a career that carried her from the quiet backwaters of New Englande to the turbulence of New York City and finally into the maelstrom of European revolution, the present study offers a fresh perspective from which to see clearly Margaret Fuller's importance as a revolutionary critic and interpreter of American and European culture. Includes an Index.
